That doesn't make it a BIOS problem. It means that you have found a
workaround that works for you that involves turning off the BIOS support.

Compile uhci, hid, evdev & psmouse as modules, and load them in that order
in /etc/modules, and you should be able to use either the USB or touchpad
mice _and_ hotplug.
A solution that involves "no hotplug" would be useless for me. I've got 6
hotpluggable devices that _must_ be hotplugged, because I don't have enough
power to turn them on when I'm not using them.
