Does Xorg.0.log reveal anything about the keyboard, e.g. a missing kernel driver? You can compare the kernel config of the liveUSB image which works and your own kernel config, as well as the corresponding dmesg output. In particular check the USB, HID and KEYBOARD modules. In case your kernel image on disk has been corrupted due to the faulty memory stick, you could rebuilt it and copy it over to /boot. PS. It is unlikely you need UHCI, if you have OHCI enabled in your kernel for USB 1.1.
