Odd it may see but not unexpected. Until the kernel loads the BIOS is
doing emulation of a PC keyboard via USB. After the kernel USB loads the
OS takes over control. If that fails you have a problem.

I guess a serial or vnc based network install might be helpful for
debugging but hardly useful for production.

Try booting with the option "irqpoll" just in case the USB stuff is
having interrupt problems.
