[Bug 1244176] Re: Server 13.10 Install Fails with USB Keyboard (Appears to Hang)

 

As stated above, the problem persists in the main Ubuntu Server 12.04
LTS and 13.10 ISOs from the main Ubuntu website.    Unfortunately, it
also still appears to be in the daily builds (pending and current) of
Ubuntu Server 14.04 and the 12.04.3 LTS dated today 29th Dec 2013.
Tested today on an Acer Aspire Revo R3600 with a USB keyboard.

Bug description:
  A fresh install of Server 13.10 on old hardware fails when a USB
  keyboard is present. The installation succeeds when a PS/2 keyboard is
  installed.

  The installation appears to hang at the third screen, which is "Select
  Language". The screen does not respond to keyboard or mouse events.

  The issue was experienced independently on HP/Compag  dc5850 with
  Athlon X2 2.3 GHz dual core, 4GB RAM; and DELL Optiplex 755. See
  "Server 13.10 Install Hangs",
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/364945/server-13-10-install-
  hangs/364949.

  The issue was not present on Server 12.04.3 LTS or 13.04.
