:I CAN type at boot menu - for example I can select verbose menu there. 
:But not after the kernel is loaded.

    This sounds like a classic bios controller not letting the kernel
    connect to the usb keyboard.

    Turn off legacy keyboard support in your BIOS.  You probably won't
    be able to type at the boot prompt, but I'll bet you can type at
    the login: prompt.
