I have gotten certain USB keyboards and mice to work within the BIOS configuration manager and EFI Shell. However, when you run ELI vmlinux it'll report an error. With PS/2, you get farther along the installation (complete it). Someone has recommended that I download all the patches and updates, recompile the kernel, and install it. So far, USB mouse/keyboard doesn't work IN the installation. I'm not talking about the kernel load or the OS itself. Just the installation. Turbolinux 0505. I'll see what happens when I get the updates recompiled.

But the USB mouse could not work. "Could not work" is pretty strong language. I don't see any reason why it could not work. Perhaps it's not just not implemented now? I know X can work with a USB mouse, but it needs to be configured properly, including the appropriate device nodes being created.
