Re: USB-Support and keyboard driver should go into kernel image

Which mainboard are you using?  In many cases, BIOS legacy emulation 
should work transparently to any OS by using SMI.  If your system does 
not work like that, it might be a fairly new PC2002-based board.  I hope 
you can help to improve USB keyboard support in Debian.
