This flakiness is being seen with several different server models that we support (HP and IBM, all Xeon based). If we boot a non-PAE kernel then the USB keyboard is rock solid. For what it's worth (probably little) I can run the same PAE kernel on an old Pentium II system and a USB keyboard works fine. What is the best way to dig into this? Any and all assistance greatly appreciated. I can provide remote access to a testbed of these systems if useful.
