32. PS/2 keyboards and mice may stop functioning after Red Hat*
Enterprise Linux is installed
Problem After installing Red Hat* Enterprise Linux on a system with BIOS release
R0045, the PS/2 keyboard and mouse stop working; however, USB keyboards
and mice work fine.
Implication If a PS/2 keyboard and mouse are installed, users cannot use the Linux
operating system.
Status This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0054 and later release.
Workaround If the user goes into the BIOS setup and disables port 60/64 emulation, PS/2

Status Users cannot load a third party RAID driver and the AHCI driver simultaneously
in SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server; doing so may cause installation failures.
Workaround The “brokenmodule-ahci” command can prevent AHCI from loading during
