Thanks for the pointers.

I believe the BIOS settings are ok. Had to experiment to get the keyboard to work upon boot just to be able to access the BIOS.
Keyboard and mouse are working just fine in BIOS and GRUB.

Regardless of whether I boot into X or not, the kernel most often does not find the keyboard.

dmesg at end when keyboard is found:

uhub2 is UHCI which is USB revision 1.0.

I'll try and connect to a hub which is EHCI and USB revision 2.0 and see if that makes any difference.

I have Arch Linux on the system as well and haven't experienced any USB problems there.

Hopefully the new USB stack underway will solve problems like this.
