Hi,

I'd like to comment some of your problems.

At the moment there are still problems with /usr on a separate
partition. You could try to install again with /usr on the root partition.

This and your USB mouse problem relate to the fact mentioned above.
The usb script requires a binary from /usr, but that partition in't
mounted then. This has been fixed in initscripts 10mdk.

I also had this problem, however I could identify the message:
 
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a
nice day...

That message is from fs/super.c I am not a kernel hacker, but I think
some partition didn't umount successfully, maybe you could try to
disable supermount and see if this helps.
