FWIW, the F-10 kernel does detect the keyboard and mouse just fine:

kernel: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:PS2K,PNP0f13:PS2M] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12
kernel: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
kernel: serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
kernel: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3
