inside installation report bug #222051]
Hi, I had the same problem installing with the snapshot 2004-01-03.
After the 1st stage without problems (the usb keyboard goes well),
in the 2nd stage (after the reboot) the usb keyboard does not
respond.
I have investigated a bit (with another old PS/2 keyboard) and
the modules keybdev and usbkdb were not loaded, just loading them
the usb keyboard again work.
If you don't have other PS/2 keyboard at hand you can solve
the problem at the end of the 1st stage. Just when the installer
shows the final message to reboot (CD ejected). Then you can
change to other console (Ctrl-Alt-2) and remount in /target your
selected root partition and edit (with nano) the file
/target/etc/modules to add the lines:
keybdev
usbkbd
After that you can umount /target and go to the first console
to let it reboot.
It seems this is a dirty hack, and i think there could be other
ways to configure it automatically.
I sent this bug to debian-installer because i don't know which is
the specific module with the problem, and i have not found other
especific bug report (apart from the mention in a install report).
Thanks,
Jose R.
