Use the following boot argument in Grub : acpi=noirq and your problem is resolved.

Today computers have the IRQ routing done via ACPI. Why? I don't know. I'm not that technical, butI know that the kernel of some suse version (and maybe also other suse versions) arenot too happy with this and interfere in one way or another cause mouse lockups on USB ports, USB devices not being detected, powermanagement that doesn't work etc.

Now if you tell the kernel not to route IRQ's via ACPI but let the kernel handle it, there will be no problem left.
