I'm seeing this same problem on IBM HS21-8853 blades.
It _seems_ like a bug in IRQ routing in BIOS/motherboard.. ACPI issue?
With IBM blades I'm able to fix the problem by generating the initrd image
with "--without-usb" switch.. this delays the USB module initialization/loading,
somehow fixing the problem.. giving different IRQ to USB controller.
