As far as I can tell the current installer should detect your usb
controller anbd load usb-uhci for it. Both of the PCI ids (808624c2,
808624c4) of your usb controller are in the discover database.
usb-discover also has these values, and it is included on the initrd.
It's possible that this was not the case in rc1, you could try a current
daily build to be sure.
