Title:
  Server 13.10 Install Fails with USB Keyboard (Appears to Hang)

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
