If you are talking about the keyboard not working after the media check 
screen came up. I had a similar problem and disabled USB legacy support 
in BIOS. I'm not sure if this did any good or not. Using a different 
machine, I downloaded the first Severn beta, that had acpi enabled in 
the kernel.  It installed with both factors  completed. (legacy USB 
support disabled in BIOS and ACPI enabled in the kernel.)


Just my experience, maybe one or both ideas will get you up and running 
on the machine.
