Comments/Problems:
<syslinux booted the installer ok, kb worked before booting the
kernel. but the moment it tried to use the installer kernel, the kb and
mouse stopped working with the ncurses installer. using the gtk installer,
the mouse worked, but the kb never did. how sad. btw i successfully (that
is, the kb and mouse worked) booted the machine from a USB stick with
knoppix 6.7 in order to get the lspci -knn listing above.>
