Okay so I figured out the problem. The kernel module ohci-pci is seperated from ohci-hcd in 3.11 but is not included in the initramfs. I compiled the module myself and inserted it into the initramfs and now the installer works just fine. Here's the debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726957
