      Are you using a serial console? Your screenshot looks suspiciously like a vga console.  :-\

      If not use the standard memstick image not memstick-serial.

      Edit: That board doesn't have a serial port, use the standard image.  :)

            So that is a serial console in your screenshot? The board you are using doesn't have a serial port, how are you connecting to the serial console.  ??? The physical keyboard shouldn't make any difference as long as it's supported by whatever OS you're running the terminal emulator in.
            It still seems likely to me that you have used the wrong image.

                  He could still have an incompatible keyboard though.  ;)
                  That keyboard has built in USB audio and a screen! It probably has a USB hub in it.

                      It's not wrong. It looks like there really is an issue with your keyboard from that link you posted. Try a more basic keyboard.

                        yeah, i've read through the whole topic and you're right.
                        I think a 5€ keyb will do the trick  :)

                            Can you not borrow one for a test? You only really need the keyboard for the initial setup, though it's obviously best to have one in case you need to use the console.
