I am experiencing this weird problem with my laptop's usb ports..
If I do not plug in my usb mouse before booting, it stays "dead", i.e. does not work at all, no light, anything.
My wild guess is that it is not feeding power to the bus; some laptops do that. Some people have a powered usb hub for that purpose.
