Unattended install fails--prompt for X language


Hi,

I've been able to setup new systems with my golden image, however after each push of the image, I get the following question:
---------

A USB interface has been detected on this system.
In order to use a keyboard on this interface, you must specify
a language mapping which will be used by X windows and
the Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE).
The characters â 1234567890â will appear as â !@#$^&*()â
on keyboards that use the shift key to type a number.
Your choice will be stored in the file /etc/kbdlang
1) USB_PS2_DIN_Belgian 2)USB_PS2_DIN_Belgian_Euro
3) USB_PS2_DIN_Danish 4)USB_PS2_DIN_Danish_Euro
5) USB_PS2_DIN_Euro_Spanish 6)USB_PS2_DIN_Euro_Spanish_Euro
7) USB_PS2_DIN_French 8)USB_PS2_DIN_French_Euro
9) USB_PS2_DIN_German 10)USB_PS2_DIN_German_Euro
11) USB_PS2_DIN_Italian 12)USB_PS2_DIN_Italian_Euro
13) USB_PS2_DIN_JIS_109 14)USB_PS2_DIN_Korean
15) USB_PS2_DIN_Norwegian 16)USB_PS2_DIN_Norwegian_Euro
17) USB_PS2_DIN_S_Chinese 18)USB_PS2_DIN_Swedish
19) USB_PS2_DIN_Swedish_Euro 20)USB_PS2_DIN_Swiss_French2_Euro
21) USB_PS2_DIN_Swiss_German2 22)USB_PS2_DIN_Swiss_German2_Euro
23) USB_PS2_DIN_T_Chinese 24)USB_PS2_DIN_UK_English
25) USB_PS2_DIN_UK_English_Euro 26)USB_PS2_DIN_US_English
27) USB_PS2_DIN_US_English_Euro
Enter the number of the language you want:

----------
The documentation says I get this question because "If the install detects that you have a keyboard, pick the number of the
language you want to use, for example, 26. Confirm your choice.". I currently don't have a keyboard attached (just a serial console). So I'm not sure why I'm getting this message. In any case, even if I did have a keyboard attached, is there something I can put into a finish script to avoid this prompt?

Re: Unattended install fails--prompt for X language

same problem here... even if an USB keyboard is connected I can start the install up to the next reboot. The kernel will then start but halt, the keyboard doesn't seem to be detected. It's a known issue, see here:

but no solution yet :-(
