That _is_ strange. Just in case, are you sure you have plugged them in
the right places (and not mouse in the keyboard port, for example)?

I have not seen it myself. Maybe would be worth asking in the
fedora-users mailing list. I don't think rebuilding the kernel would
help, you would just get the same problem again. Do you see anything out
of the ordinary in the /var/log/messages message log when you boot smp?
