Try running redhat-config-mouse and redhat-config-keyboard and select the right one.

I had a similar problem and it was solved (a workaround) by stopping the gpm service (console mouse service):

service gpm stop
chkconfig gpm off

You need to configure USB mouse and keyboard. Without that, it wont recognize.
