Johan's behaviour seems different from what I see here on our 745's 
(although I run current not 4BETA2).

On ours it doesn't report any problem with uhub0 but shortly after 
boot it prints out "uhci0: host controller halted" (actually this is 
at the point where the network is ifconfig'ed).

and the keyboard is detected and works in 4 of the usb slots at the 
back but not the other two and not the two at the front, however a 
usb memory key works fine in all of them.

Also if Johan manages to get a keyboard working he will probably find 
that a GENERIC kernel will hang during boot - you need to disable the 
azalia driver and having done he'll find that the broadcom ethernet 
doesn't work (doesn't receive packets but can send them).

I wonder if all these issues are not related in some way as all these 
problematic devices are on irq 11.
