Bug#728936: Bug#731939: debian-installer: USB input not functioning during install

[Manfred Rebentisch <mrebentisch@comparat.de>]

Hello Rick,
I startet the rescue mode and after failed networking access I switched 
to the console. There I can call lsmod, but I did not found lsusb.

But I found the last dmesg protocol from that hardware with
Linux version 3.2.0-44-generic (buildd@akateko) (gcc version 4.6.3 
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #69-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 16 17:35:01 UTC 
2013 (Ubuntu 3.2.0-44.69-generic 3.2.44). I send the file to Rick only, 
because I do not know, if it is a good idea to make the complete file 
public.


Here the modules from actual testing:
