If you read carefully you can see that FC1 did install, but FC2/3 did not.

It sounds like a kernel keyboard driver issue. I had the same problem with  
kernel 2.6 (kernel 2.4 was ok), switched my keyboard with my girlfriend's  
and her keyboard worked fine. Note that both keyboards were PS2, not USB.

My best solution would be that you could go by a cheap USB keyboard.
