I met the same problem with my x220 which is not resolved but you can follow this workaround: 1 - Plug an external USB keyboard 2 - boot with a memstick with 8.2 3 - In the loader: set hint.atkbd.0.disabled=1 boot 4 - Follow install via network or other 5 - Setup BIOS: Config > USB UEFI BIOS > disabled 6 - reboot You could try with a CD, directly without UEFI, it may work as is (I didn't burn it for the exercise). That's what worked for me. Regards, -- Cybil Courraud
