I've now tried this system with a FreeBSD 5.2.1 and various linux distros. 
Freebsd has the same problem but linux does not. FreeBSD does not report 
any usb problems in it's dmesg, but otherwise the behavior is identical to 
DF.


This should be related to the way ps2 keyboards are probed. The culprit
comes from legacy emulation going away somewhere while initialising USB.
Can you try a very recent FreeBSD 6-CURRENT to see if the changes there
fixed it? In that case we can backport them.

Will do, as soon as I have time. Considering how popular usb is now, that sounds like 
a good idea regardless of the results of my test.
