That's actually very interesting. I installed Yellow Dog last August and booted my
Lombard PowerBook on September 1st. It remained running for 106 days, until I
brought it down early this morning 'cause I wanted to.
The deal is, it had been so long since I last booted it that I forgot the special
step necessary to get it to recognize my keyboard and mouse.
In my case, I had to unplug my external keyboard and mouse until the Linux boot
process was complete. THEN I can plug them in and have them recognized.
It sounds to me like you and I might be experiencing a related phenomena...
