I have a similar problem with an IBM (MICRO Innovations)
USB mouse with VIA UHCI/amd64:
uhci0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0: VIA Technologies VT83C572 USB Controller (rev. 0x81)
If I boot from power off the UCB port doesn't come up at all (I
think it says "controller halted", but I can't find a log that has
it), but if I then do a soft reboot, the mouse won't work initially:
uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1
but unplugging and replugging the mouse (sometimes more than
once) will make it work:
uhidev0 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0
uhidev0: Primax Electronics product 0x4d09, rev 1.00/0.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1
ums0 at uhidev0: 5 buttons and Z dir.
wsmouse1 at ums0 mux 0
The USB printer and scanner seem to be more robust and don't
require replugging, but they won't come up after a power cycle,
either.
