Comments/Problems:
Installer hangs on detecting hardware. Tried to run hw-detect from console and i got the same result (hang).

Another problem: if i try to use any non graphical install method, my keyboard doesn't work except for get virtual consoles (CMD+F2).
Steps:
1. Selected Graphic Install
2. after selected language/keymap it hangs on detecting hardware
