If it is similiar to the eMachines M680x problem the issue is the usb
drivers need to be compiled directly into the kernel. A workaround at
least that works for the eMachines is to plug a usb keyboard in to
install then rebuild the kernel. Someone eventually needs to file a bug
about this at bugme.osdl.org, I probably will when I have some free
time.
