In the new kernel the usb mouse doesn't work. Usb mouse doesn't work in any
usb port. The usb mouse works  in old kernel and also in Windows.

I tried that /var/log/message:

 Var/log/messages, when I used OLD kernel (usb mouse worked in both usb
ports). I unplugged usb mouse and replugged to an another us port:

Feb 23 22:13:40 localhost kernel: usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 2

Feb 23 22:13:40 localhost udev[2985]: main: action, subsystem or devpath
missing

Feb 23 22:13:51 localhost kernel: usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 3

Feb 23 22:13:51 localhost kernel: input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [HP HP USB
WHEEL MOUSE] on usb-0000:00:10.2-1

Feb 23 22:13:51 localhost udev[3029]: main: action, subsystem or devpath
missing


 Var/log/messages, when I used NEW kernel. I unplugged not working usb mouse
and replugged to an another us port (mouse didn't work):


 Feb 23 22:27:09 localhost kernel: usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 2

Feb 23 22:27:14 localhost kernel: usb 4-2: new low speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 3

Feb 23 22:27:14 localhost kernel: input: HP HP USB WHEEL MOUSE as
/class/input/input3

Feb 23 22:27:14 localhost kernel: input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [HP HP USB
WHEEL MOUSE] on usb-0000:00:10.2-2


 Var/log/messages, when I used new kernel. I unplugged ONCE AGAIN the not
working usb mouse and replugged to an another us port:


 Feb 23 22:31:30 localhost kernel: usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 3

Feb 23 22:31:34 localhost kernel: usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 4

Feb 23 22:31:35 localhost kernel: input: HP HP USB WHEEL MOUSE as
/class/input/input4

Feb 23 22:31:35 localhost kernel: input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [HP HP USB
WHEEL MOUSE] on usb-0000:00:10.2-1

So, here aren't any clue where is the reason for problem or are there?
What now?
