Actually, from what I see below your problems are
a lot more basic than this.  The keyboard is
giving "usb-uhci" (and likely other HCDs) some
level of indigestion, by not responding.

Try using "uhci", not "usb-uhci", for starters.

Don't use "usbkbd", ever.  That's likely not
the root problem here, but I see it in your
messages below.  Use HID with the keyboard
input event handler.
