Thanks Eric unfortunately we had the same issue with 7.0-RC1 and 7.0-PREREL
I'll look at dropping usb back into our kernel we're running atm and
see if it detects the above as that might well help diagnose the issue.

We've had the same problem, and changing USB Mouse Type
from "Windows >= 2000, Mac OS X" to "Other Operating System"
made the keyboard available again.

P.S. : The setting is located under the KVM Settings->Keyboard/Mouse menu
on the IPMI web interface.
