Hi,

Could you please try the patch below? I am interested in tests both with
and without keyboard/mouse. The main idea is to leave ports that have been
disabled by BIOS alone... The patch compiles but otherwise untested. Against
2.6.7.

BTW, do you both have the same motherboard/chipset? Maybe a dmi entry is in
order...

Thanks!
