Hello Everyone...
UGGGH!  Sorry for the noise.  At least now the fix to my problem is 
about to be documented in case anyone else has the same problem.  It 
it a combination Hardware/Brain Matter issue :)

The SuperMicro system that I am running can also be mounted in a 
rack as a server.  So, they put the following items all together in 
an enclosure that can be pulled out and turned 90 degrees so that 
everything is in the proper direction when it is mounted in a rack:
1. Two slots for optical drives and such things
2. One slot for a floppy drive
3. A panel at the top that has the power button, an assortment of 
lights, the reset button, and the two USB ports that I started this 
thread over.

When I got this system I learned REAL QUICK that the cable for 
everything but the USB ports comes unplugged real easy.  Now I see 
that as kind of a safety feature to keep people from accidentally 
yanking a cable and breaking something.  The cable for everything 
BUT the USB ports is right where you can see it very clearly.

The cable for the two USB ports ON THE OTHER HAND :), is about a 
half inch to an inch further back.  It does not come completely 
disconnected as easily as the other cable does, BUT it can be pulled 
out far enough to cause the issues that I have bothered this list 
with...

But anyway, all is now well...

Thank you for your help,
Steven P. Ulrick

P.S.:  Hey Mikkel: I am now wrapping my plain text email messages at 
column 68 (again, this is in KMail.)  I'm looking forward to seeing 
the results.
