I just filed #917247 (about some modules no longer loaded at boot), and
some of your problems might be related to this:

This is similar to what I experienced: keyboard was working fine at the
boot console (allowing me to log in), but it and the mouse would no
longer work after starting X.  Unplugging and replugging the mouse USB
receiver brought them back to life.

I assume udev missed them at boot time, and rediscovered them when being
plugged in.

Again, my sound card driver was missing, causing ALSA to (predictably)
fail.  Loading it manually did the trick.


I don't know if missing modules can explain all your problems (hence why
I filed a separate report), but it's a starting point.
