Subject: Re: What in the World happened to the %#$&! keyboard? (Ubuntu 10.10)
I had something similar happen on a SLES install. It worked fine for
a little while, then all of the sudden, right after post, the keyboard
was completely dead, and networking was dead too. CTRL+ALT+Fx didn't
work either. I ended up reinstalling, and it is now working without
incident.
This was on an HP Proliant ML110 G5
