Bug Description
My computer, a Dell Dimension 5150 N-series, has only a USB keyboard. The boot menu ignores the keyboard until the boot process start (boot process means after the countdown go to zero).
I have this problem with 7.10 release, but not with 7.04 and 6.10 releases (as mentioned in #146369 and #154702).
ISO file and CD content md5sum is ok... the keyboard is ok (i`m typing from a 8.04 LiveCD session now).

Found a workaround in bug 35530. You have to press down the shift key during boot.
