You're welcome! I know that suddenly losing console access to your

Thanks for the update on this! Out of curiosity, was the need for
usbcore.autosuspend=-1 the result of some sort of bug? or is there a bug
filed for tracking the issue? If it's something that is going to be
needed long term, I'll consider adding it to the default kernel
arguments for ovirt-node.
Thanks
