Thanks for the replies. |

I booted with Gentoo LiveDVD and did not see the "USB disconnect" messages, |
| 12 |
and I also noticed that Gentoo starts the gpm mouse at boot up. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I then added the gpm start to my init scripts and when I boot my system |
| 15 |
the problem disappears. I now do not see the "USB disconnect" messages |
| 16 |
in console mode. |

Here is the start command I added: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Also, the problem seems not limited to kernel-3.8.x. I always keep the |
| 23 |
previous kernel available and the same problem happens when booting with |
| 24 |
kernel-3.7. If I can find the time I may try to compile some earlier kernels |
| 25 |
and test those. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But running gpm from the boot script seems to prevent whatever event was |
| 28 |
producing those "USB disconnect" messages. If the mouse is not "grabbed" |
| 29 |
by something it somehow disconnects. |
