Is there any difference in the output from lsusb when the system
recognises it and when it doesn't? (Note: the device numbers will
probably change: this is because USB device addressing is dynamic).
If there is no difference, then you should probably bugzilla it against
HAL. This ought to just work.
If there *is* a difference, then this implies that something in your
computer is not setting up USB devices properly. Arguably this should be
bugzilla'd against the kernel, but it might be worth looking through your
BIOS settings. If you don't have a USB keyboard, try turning all the
"legacy USB" options off.
Hope this helps,
James.
