I digged deeper:
* the same happens with older kernels (I tried 2.6.17.13 for instance) * the handoff works every time when "USB Keyboard Support" is disabled in my BIOS * the handoff doesn't work when I enable "USB Keyboard Support" and use the keyboard at the lilo prompt (up, down, enter ...). It does work, though, when I keep my hands afk.
I also increased the wait time from 5 seconds to 20 in drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.c but that didn't change anything. I guess the bios won't release OHCI in order to be able to serve keyboard input without usb hid drivers once I hit a key when bios is still in charge. But I looked around and couldn't see any ill effects so I'll stop bothering you with this ;-)
