I've got an HP USB keyboard that works fine on Windows systems but didn't work on Linux. The problem turned out to be that the Linux driver queries the initial state of the keyboard (which Windows doesn't do, or at least not in the same way) and that was enough to convince the keyboard to stop working. For some odd reason, adding a USB clear-halt request to the driver got the keyboard going again. You may be seeing something equally strange.
