[ltp] SLES 9 on an A31P questions

[Lew Newby]

OK I feel stupid for not trying this before but I pulled my USB 
connection from the docking station and instered directly into the A31 
and it all worked fine. the system sees the USB mouse AND keyboard 
through the KVM switch. Apparently the 2.6 kernel does not recognize the 
docking station USB hub. I do get the following errors:

kernel: hub 1-0:1.0 Connot enable port 1. Maybe the USB the USB cable is 
bad?
kernel: end request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
kernel: end request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
kernel: mtrr: 0xe8000000,0x4000000 overlaps existing 0xe8000000,0x2000000
kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found
kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found

I gather from this my floppy drive (that is installed in the docking 
station) is also not recognized.

So the work around appears to be to plug the USB devices directly into 
the laptop and not into the docking station. This will work for me for now.
