You might try downloading a daily build of the CD image (see the d-i web site for a link), and boot it passing debian-installer/framebuffer=false as a kernel parameter at the boot: prompt boot: linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false It sounds like a problem with the keyboard and that would help rule out anything in the area of the framebuffer. Also, see if you can switch virtual consoles with alt-f2 etc. If not, it's surely a keyboard problem of some kind. -- see shy jo
