I had a problem like this on a Dell 340.  With the 2.6 UP kernel, the keyboard 
and mouse worked fine but with the 2.6 SMP kernel, nothing ... the solution 
(with kernel => 2.6.10) was to specify the kernel parameter usb-handoff

About disabling USB legacy support in the BIOS ... not an option on the Dell 
340.
