I don't have any trouble with my self-powered USB hub and/or keyboard in any configuration. I suspect that your keyboard isn't quite USB compliant and requires a driver (that may exist by default and load automatically in other OSs). Some hubs have that problem - and shouldn't. I've toyed with the idea of hacking a hub and keyboard together to save space and increase the number of power options.
