Post usb kb and mouse installation
Hi guys,

ive got a usb kb n mouse and am struggling to get any distro to install as a result. have tested with an old ps2 keyboard and that works fine but i would like to know whether there is a certain option i should be passing to the kernel in able to enable usb support.

USB support is enabled in the bios and i have tested it through windows and the devices both work fine.

when trying to install debian it comes up and support is enabled however once loading the kernel support fails.

anyone know of a way to pass this?
