Pass that by me once again: the base install finishes, the installer
returns back to the main menu. And the keyboard hangs right there?
That confirms my guess that the problem isn't related to the screen
blanking code. Thanks for reporting the results; I had pointed a
couple of other people to that kernel but no one ever got back to me.
The problem isn't related to the keyboard driver but to the underlying
ADB driver code. Seems the ADB driver locks up after heavy disk I/O
on that machine. What type of ADB controller does this Mac use (see
the hardware menu in the booter)?
