I have a reproducible problem with USB keyboard on at least two machines. It is always the same story: if only one USB keyboard is attached and no AT-style keyboard else, the BIOS legacy emulation stops working while the hardware initialisation at boot time. BUT: If an additional "normal" keyboard is connected, Linux does not have any problem, I can use both keyboards, remove the old keyboard and continue working with USB keyboard.
In the first case, when the keyboard is locked, it does help to load the USB driver, ubskbd.o and keybdev.o, and the keyboard is useable again. I tried hacking in Linux' init/main.c and other drivers, stopping it at different points with wait_for_keypress. Result: even after the first console driver initialisations, somewhere while loading the serial driver (where the first keyboard input is accepted), the USB keyboard is already locked, while a normal keyboard works. I tried disabling PCI support, various drivers, nothing does help. I can see increasing interupt count in /proc/interrupts, though nothing does reach the console.
