Here's the problem. The prepackaged kernel has the USB stuff built as
modules. You have a few options :
o make your own kernel and include the USB keyboard statically
(recommended)
o adjust the initrd so that the USB modules are loaded during
boot (this is the advantage of having an initrd, unfortunately
I don't know how to do this)
o while booted with your old kernel add
usb
keybdev
to /etc/modules so that the modules are loaded at boot time
(later than the initrd method though) and your keyboard will
work
