Hello I am running -STABLE (checked out Tue Jun 27), and have come across a strange issue regarding my mouse. The mouse is a Logitech MX500 connected via USB. My kernel is custom (GENERIC, just minus the unneeded CPU lines). An important thing to note is that I do not have a floppy drive installed. When I boot with floppy drive enabled in tbe BIOS - my mouse will work correctly. The boot process pauses approx 10-20 seconds just after probing my discs and before checking and mounting the drives. When I boot with floppy drive disabled in the BIOS - the mouse does not work. The boot process looses this long pause as well (boots really fast!). To me it seems to be an issue of maybe the mouse is not being given enough time to power up before moused attaches, but it appears fine in the boot log. It seems strange that it doesn't work when the BIOS is set incorrectly. Any ideas; I would like to leave the floppy disabled and get the quick boot times as this is a system where it is turned off when not in use. Also it seems to be the more correct way to set things up. dmesg with floppy enabled (where it pauses I have marked with a ** PAUSE**): Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.
