I didn't realize that grub was so limited. I guess with the space it 
occupies, it is pretty much legacy. Thanks for the information.

Does it hang at grub or does it proceed to boot after the timeout?

The laptop where I had problems with legacy USB support was an HP brand 
and the internal keyboard did not work with USB legacy support enabled. 
I did not have a USB keyboard in my circumstance.
