[Bug 975198] [NEW] alternate iso appears to hang at location selection

[Peter Hurley]

Public bug reported:

With amd64 alternate iso 20120406, the installer appears to 'hang' at
location selection.  Hard restart necessary.

However this is actually due to the wireless keyboard being non-responsive. This is because the hid-logitech-dj driver (for Logitech Unifying Receiver devices) is not present.
