Did it inform you about any Hard Disks having problems? I noticed that when my external USB was powered-off, the mouse cursr disappeared - I had to power back the USB drive to prevent the message from being displayed. Once it boot, I modify the preferences so that this message was no longer displayed.

I haven't gotten a message about the hard disk(s). There is supposedly a problem with the karmic kernel.

The cursor appears only when I have my flash drive ("external USB") plugged in so your comment about that helped. I am not sure what preferences you modified though to fix the problem.
