I have had the same problem. But the great new Debian Installer works for me.
It is in beta state but works better than other final versions :-)

But there was one problem too. Before you finish the installation you must
open a shell and change the /etc/modules file and insert the modules for
usb-keyboard and mouse. Otherwise after boot you can't use the key.
I install with this method for 6 month and the installer changes daily.
Possibly this is not needed.

Miss it so much. :-))
