[SOLVED]Keyboard not working at installation (so, I can't install)

Hello,

When I execute the installation program (from a CD or USB), keyboard works when the GRUB shows up, but when I press enter to run archiso, after the kernel and module loading, I arrive to "archiso login:_" screen with a non-working keyboard, neither my PS2 nor USB keyboard, so I can't login in and, of course, install arch.

I've been trying to collect some rare data from the kernel loading screen in order to ease finding a solution:

(after archiso kernel module loaded) -> ohci_hcd 0000:00:04.0: Unlink after no-IRQ? Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.

(after setting clock) -> select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out.

As I said, I tried from a CD and a USB with the same result. I've md5 the images I'd downloaded and they are correct.

Greetings

Please, is there any workaround to this problem? I would wish to install arch on my PC.

Maybe installing an older version CD could work, but i am not sure if older versions of arch offer support for ext4...

EDIT: Ok I solved it, it was a very strange option in Bios, called "Installer OS Select", where the options to choose were Windows or Others, and I choose others and voilà!, Keyboard working.

Strange, right?
