Usb port disables itself after BIOS restart

I use an Archlinux distribution, and i often make updates by booting from an USB key.
So i go on the BIOS and select my USB to boot on, then "save and restart".
Once i do that, the restart will automatically put me in an emergency shell due to his incapacity to read the key. I notices that the mouse and keyboard were disabled too.
If i restart manually the computer, the USB ports works just fine.
It sometimes happens on boot even without making an upgrade, that the USB is disabled for the ~30 first seconds after booting.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance

Re: Usb port disables itself after BIOS restart

This is an issue of your EFI implementation, something you can try is add rootdelay=30 or so to the kernel parameters to tell the initramfs to wait 30 seconds for the root partition to arrive.
