[ltp] USB died on my T42p

Hello all,

My usb ports suddenly went dead, and I suspect a hardware problem. I
can boot several SUSE 9.2 systems, as well as Windows XP-Pro. None of
them now recognize a usb device.

/proc/bus/usb/devices looks normal, except that when a usb device is
plugged in, nothing happens. Hotplug is enabled, and there is no clue in
the boot message that I can see. 

Before I start fighting the battle with IBM, I would like to know if
there are any diagnostics that would nail it down as a hardware
problem (or not)?

Thanks for your help.

Dave
