Syslinux - Jun 2008 - USB keyboard not working? (* Help needed *)

Are there anyone who has a machine on which the *current* version of 
SYSLINUX ends up with an inoperable USB keyboard, especially when using 
the menu system?

I might have a workaround, but I don't have a system which exhibits the 
problem available to me at the moment, and I really don't want to put in 
a hack without knowing that it actually does anything...

If you do have such a system, please pretty please holler...

I don't have a machine handy that experiences the problem, but I do get 
ones that do. If no one else steps forward, I would be happy to test it, 
but it may take me a week before I get a machine to test with.

At home I have a Abit AB9 Pro motherboard which behaves something like
that. In BIOS usb kbd works fine, but not in grub. (With "Legacy USB"
or
something like that it works in grub). I haven't tested syslinux but
what different would grub do :)

As said, "at home", which means about two weeks before I get my hands
on
to that machine.

I've got a desktop with a USB keyboard. If you tell me what to look
for when testing and any other details you consider relevant, I will
gladly help.
