Many thanks to David Brownell who suggested I check /proc/interrupts when using USB devices on my Supermicro motherboard. Unsurprisingly, it appears that the usb hardware isn't generating interrupts when plugging/unplugging usb devices. As I was getting a bit desparate, I decided to install Win98 and see if it could use the usb devices. Again, no usb devices worked. So it looks like a hardware fault. I don't know whether this is specific to the Supermicro 370SD motherboard or to all i810 chipsets (the latter is probably unlikely as other people probably would have come across this problem by now). Anyway, hope this info is useful for others.
