[ale] keyboard works in bios/grub but not after boot?

[John Wells]

Guys,

Just rebooted my ubuntu box after doing a dist-upgrade last night, and now
I no longer have keyboard functionality.  The keyboard works fine in the
bios and in grub, but as soon as I select a kernel and boot it no longer
responds. I first thought it might be related to the upgrade, so I dropped
a live ubuntu cd in...same behavior...fine in grub and bios, screwed as
soon as it loaded the kernel.

Otherwise the box operates fine...I can boot it up and ssh in.

Any thoughts?

Thanks as always.

John
