What type of keyboard? USB, wireless, bluetooth, hardwired?

You might try telling it that you are using a standard US International
105 keyboard. Run kbdconfig as root after you have completed the
installation and tell it your actual keyboard.

Try booting with Knoppix and or Ubuntu liveCD to see if your keyboard
works: http://www.knoppix.net/ with those. If they do, then there may be
a bug in the Alternate CD installer.
