>Description:
When trying to boot a Dell PowerEdge 750 with a Kensington Expert Mouse connected (usb trackball) the kernel freezes with the the last line printed:
ugen1.2: <Kensington> at usbus1
ums0: <Kensington Kensington Expert Mouse, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2> on usbus1
ums0: 4 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=0
<some filesystem related stuff, cleanup from last lockup. setting hostname etc>
Starting ums0 moused.

The kernel doesn't "unstick" when the device is unplugged, it must be power-cycled.

If the device is absent it will boot normally. However, upon connection, three lines will print and it will lock up as before:
ugen1.2: <Kensington> at usbus1
ums0: <Kensington Kensington Expert Mouse, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2> on usbus1
ums0: 4 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=0

This is the "stock" kernel that was installed by sysinstall. I do not have another USB mouse to test with. The USB keyboard connected appears to function without issue.

I've not written a FreeBSD problem report. Please advise if any more detail is required.
>How-To-Repeat:
Connect the Kensington Expert Mouse. No other action is required.
