problem booting when "bootable" usb devices connected

Hello,

  I've been having the problem for a bit now, but it took me a while to
determine the actual cause...

When I have a bootable (according to my bios I guess) usb device
connected (such as a usb harddrive or usb dvd/rw drive) or I enable usb
legacy in my bios (and I have a usb keyboard / mouse connected) my
machine will start booting, but then lock hard when initializing
hardware (right after it says it starts udev.. the next line.. it'll get
up to audio then hangs).

If I don't have usb legacy on, and I turn off or disconnect the usb
drives prior to reseting, everything will boot fine (except that I can't
use my keyboard on the grub screen).  I can have other usb devices
connected during boot (camera, scanner, card readers (haven't tried them
with cards in though)) and it'll boot fine.

Is it just me?  or a broken bios? (the motherboard is an MSI K8T-master2
with the latest bios with a single opteron 248 installed).  It seems to
me that my bios is initializing my usb ports in a way that udev doesn't
like... 

Any suggestions?
