But the Trusty kernel has the CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD_PCI=y set (which was the problem reported here) and I just checked the iso with the virtual keyboard/monitor over lan which was failing before. And that is reacting on the keyboard.
Michael, from the little info in your comment its unclear whether there was a kernel panic and a resulting hang or just the usb keyboard had an issue. But since things seem to work here, it is very likely a different issue to this. Could you file a new bug ("ubuntu-bug linux" from the live iso, then you can manually update the report with the details of the server install). Subscribe me to the new report, then I will see it. And add more details on how this happens (always the same place, a certain menu or when). Thanks.

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.
