Bug#728936: Bug#731939: debian-installer: USB input not functioning during install

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas@pobox.com>]

Manfred and Jason,

It would help a lot if each of you please reply-all to this with the output of (as root -- and with the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in to the machine)
         lsusb -v
and
         lsmod

That may help tell what USB/HCI driver is needed for your devices.

Thanks!

Rick
