I hope this helps.
Stop USB from automatically starting. In X you can click on DrakConf, go
to startup services, and deselect USB. Also make sure USB is turned off in
your bios.
Check the next time you reboot to see if you still get the same message.
As for your other questions, I have the same numlock problem that you
have.
I also use a microsoft intellimouse and I have had problems with it
also (I am using Mandrake 7.0)
When all esle fails blame M$
