Plugging an Apple USB keyboard (stolen from an eMac ;-) ) solved the problem, I mean, the USB keyboard worked, while the internal one didn't. This problem is present even in the 20041115 netinst .iso and in the latest 20041119 (I just downloaded and tried it). After having read the boot help, I booted with 'linux26' and the keyboard problem disappeared (I mean, I had no problem with the internal keyboard). So, it seems it's a 2.4 only problem. The error in the HD partitioning session was due to the fact that the laptop has XP Home pre-installed on a NTFS partition and I couldn't reduce the NTFS partition less than 17GB. I tried also with the latest Knoppix 3.6-en, but I got the same result: the size for the NTFS partition had to be at least 17GB. So I used Partition Magic to create all the partitions I needed, as if I create the Linux partitions on 2.6 kernels, then Partition Magic complains about differences in CHS (this is a known bug, not a Debian-related one). All the other stuffs worked well, no problem at all. I followed the same procedure as I reported in installation-report #281923 (just installed in English and not in French). I can provide all the Install logs and other status info (available in /var/log/debian-installer/), with the lshal output, if needed.
