usb keyboard works in bios, not in DF

 usb keyboard works fine, when used to navigate the mobo bios, but fails 
in dragonfly. It is not possible to log in at the blackscreen console 
prompt. In DF when the keyboard is un/plugged the kernel prints usb 
detach/attach info. The usb hub built in to the keyboard appears to be 
recognized as well, and when devices are attached/detached from the hub 
the kernel prints correct id info.

from dmesg

rarely on boots the usb keyboard does work, only about 1 out of every 15 
boots... strange

The same machine & keyboard have no problems with another unix-like OS

Well what is the other unix-like os a bsd or linux? However, what 
happens when you boot youre system with ACPI disabled?
