Further update - I just put a Bananian image onto the SD card, booted it up,
and both the USB keyboard and the network interface work.

So, there's nothing wrong with the hardware - but the Chimaera installer
certainly doesn't work on it.

Can anyone kindly point me at how best to debug this, and maybe improve the
installer for others?


Thanks,
