Here's your problem. Your config space is not mounted (for whatever
reason), so no scripts in /fai/class are executed. But we need the
script /fai/class/20-hwdetect.source to be executed, because this
script loads the USB kernel drivers. So your USB keyboard is only
availabe after this script is executed. If you need USAB support
before, you have to compile a new install kernel package with buildin
USB support. The default install kernels from the fai-kernels have USB
support only as loadable modules.
But it would be better to find the error, why your config space is not mounted.
