Bug#603318: debian-installer: Does not detect the USB wireless keyboard

[valette <eric.valette@free.fr>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 12/11/2010 speeze netiso install
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i squeeze

I have a working debian unstable+experimental in 32 bits on this machine. I remember 
I've been forced to use an extra USB keyboard to manage original install month ago.

This time I wanted to reinstall the machine in 64 bit mode because the atom 330 is compatible
with this mode and more perfromant than in 32 bit mode.. Problem is still the same
with very up-to-date sqeeze installer:

The BIOS detects the keybaord (I can enter the BIOS setup mode)
The initial non linux installer code detects the keyboard (I can
navigate in the installation menu). As soon as Linux is started, the keyboard and mouse are lost
