I've installed FC9 on an Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI motherboard. My keyboard and mouse are attached via a USB hub.
Everything seemed to go fine and the system runs as expected for the first 5 minutes or so but then the mouse and keyboard stop working. I'm pretty sure this is a total USB lockup because if I plug in a PS2 mouse and keyboard then the system is still alive and works as expected and it also behaves without a hiccup via a telnet login. Also, if I plug in a USB memory stick then that is not detected either and finally if I plug in another USB mouse and/or keyboard directly into one of the other USB ports on the mobo then they aren't recognised either.
The following links I found as a result of my searching also implies to me that there is an FC9 problem here:

I see nothing in bugzilla when I searched for M3A78 and M3A78-EMH so I guess it is down to me to report this but I'd be grateful for some advice and feedback on the following first:
1) Has anyone else encountered (and ideally solved) this issue already?
2) I'm a bit of a Linux newbie so are there any useful experiments I can do first to make my bug report more useful? Is there any service or other bit of the kernel specifically related to the USB stack that I could safely query the status of or force to restart just to see what happens and try to narrow down where the problem is?
To save people googling the specs, the M3A78-EMH is a MATX AM2+ mobo based on the AMD780G and SB700 chipset.
