Ok. After playing with my BIOS settings, i decided to reset them all.
And here, i can say that i previously made a mistake: *disable* ACPI at
boot time _do_ the trick!

So, i ended with these two systems:
  - notebook: FreeBSD 5.2.1 + ACPI enable  => USB ok
  - notebook: FreeBSD 5.3   + ACPI disable => USB ok

  - desktop:  FreeBSD 5.2.1 + ACPI enable  => USB ko :(
  - desktop:  FreeBSD 5.3   + ACPI disable => USB ok

The desktop is the machine equipped with the MSI K7T266 Pro2 motherboard.
Note: the BIOS firmware is up to date with the last revision available.

The update during the RELENG_5 branch seems to be at the origin of the
USB support problem on this motherboard.

PS: Sorry Anish for the mistake in the first place.
