When I boot the USB Arch install image, the installation
fails. The problem is that when it dumps me to the
interactive prompt, I can't type anything because my
keyboard isn't working.
It's a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. |

Solution: tested with adding usbinput hook in the initcpio-ide/-pata files, this will bring it back.
Temporary solution for you, Simon: use a PS/2 keyboard during install.
Also the raid and lvm2 hooks; these are not needed to boot/act with the install ISO but maybe usefull when using it as a rescue system (raid autodetection)...
The encrypt hook??? Yes, if one would like to boot his encrypted root partition with the Arch ISOs..
I think we don't do any harm when enable these hooks too...
What does pcmcia give us? Consider that this is _only_ for booting the cdrom/usb itself. Is there anything that we would need pcmcia for at boot time?
Myself like to add pcmcia hook to 2009.08 cause we should support all busses on which cdrom hardware could be attached.
