Thanks for the report.  Can you send the seabios log - see the
directions at:

http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#Trouble_reporting

A log of a successful case and a failure case would be helpful.

Okay - that's really odd.  Can you change the dprintf in
usb-hid.c:handle_key() to use a value of 8 instead of 9 and send the
log as above?  (If you need help with building SeaBIOS, let me know.)

Also, if you can use tools/readserial.py to capture the log (so that
we can see the relative timestamps), that would also help.
