+My apologies, I must have missed it.  I looked it up in the archives, 
+and from the code involved, it looked like a good possibility.  I went 
+and read bug#9242, but given the trouble al13n had, I don't think I'd 
+fare too well trying to check out and rebuild stage1.  I've used svn 
+lightly, years ago, but I'm not familiar with the MGA SVN layout at all.
+
+The dracut patch you mentioned added ehci-pci and ehci-platform.  I 
+drilled down into the all.rdz files for isolinux, and boot.iso, and 
+all.rdz.uncompressed has all three of them (-hcd, -pci, -platform). The 
+working cauldron partition from Mar 11's MCC harddrake reports the 
+module for the USB keyboard as usbhid, which is there as well in all of 
+them.
+
+So perhaps the problem is in some control list of things to be loaded ?  
+If you can point me to that, I'll check it.

+My impression from the code and the bug report comments is that the 
+change either converts "-" in module names to "_" or vice-versa, or 
+stops whichever of these it was doing before.
+
+Also, the bugreports states that "tv is OK with this provided it's 
+tested", and follows this up with "I couldn't test it", so it's unclear 
+what the status of the change really is.
