hangs during boot - EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?)

[Christian Volk]

I have a 5-6 seconds delay while booting the 2.6.17.8 Kernel with only 
EHCI support on a Jetway J7F2WE1G5-OC-PB motherboard.
What exactly does the error during bootprocess mean?

Bios
USB 2.0 Support = enabled
USB Device Legacy Support = All On
