I installed and it boots. I get a nice login screen.
But keyboard is not working so can't proceed. Dead in water.
Interesting, the live version worked flawless with same hardware.
What might I do to get this working?

What else but AV Linux - 5.0.3 "Tube"

CPU is Core i7 w 4G mem.

I don't know if this is an install issue or a kernel issue.
I am booting from a multiboot grub-1 system.
BSD, Windows, and Linux flavors. 6 choices. All work fine.
The target disk is /dev/sde1
Gparted wouldn't work on the live install so I just
installed bootloader in target root and boot from old bootloader in MBR
of first disk. At least it didn't trash my setup;-)

My config defines the kernel and initrd and they boot.
Saw lots of errors but too fast to read any of them.

Obviously the kernel isn't loading the USB module needed
for the keyboard; it should do that automatically if compiled.
It's just a Logitech K120 USB keyboard; nothing special.
But I have no keyboard so I can't log in.

I guess I can mount the partition and investigate,
but I shouldn't need to do that to make it work.

I am replying to my own post just to verify I did get the keyboard working.
I simply re-installed, but set keyboard/local this time this time. Mandatory?
Apparently the defaults don't support USB or maybe I just fooled the installer.
But that got me in the game with AVlinux.
