Some combination of *msi=1, *nousbehci=1 and/or *nousbuhci=1 may enable
the SATA drive and USB keyboard simultaneously (especially if your system
is capable of falling back to PS2 keyboard emulation), but in these cases
USB itself has never worked for me. This is all hit or miss; it's a bit
surprising that so many modern mp systems seem to work as well as they do.
Prior to aiju's msi hack, my T61 was not able to use mp and its Ethernet
port at the same time.

By the way, do you happen to know which iso you used for the installation?
