My BIOS has among other settings:
USB Controller: ENABLED
USB Device Legacy Support: ENABLED
Onboard USB 3.0 Controller: ENABLED
and in the boot sequence i choose first:
either USB Generic STORAGE DEVICE
or USB: USB FLASH DRIVE PMAP
http://paste.debian.net/120890 for /var/log/syslog and fdisk info on
the machine with the mobo in question (i've already ubuntu installed on
the machine but want to dual boot with debian testing :-) ).
