Macbook Pro keyboard fails with new kernel 2.6.32-17,19,20,21

[TDJACR]

With 2.6.32-17 installed after an upgrade to beta, the keyboard fails to operate (caps lock fails too) on a MacBook Pro 5,3. If I tell grub to use older kernels, it works fine.

2.6.31-20 is now not functioning either, it just hangs. 2.6.31-19 works okay.

2.6.31-20's error was not reproducible after an update.

[TDJACR (thedjatclubrock)]

Updated to the new kernel - 2.6.32-19. Same issue, keyboard doesn't work, touchpad is fine. No indication that the keyboard is recognized, as caps lock light doesn't function.

I wish I could be of more assistance. If Lucid is going to be released this month, this error needs squashing soon. I'm not sure as to how widespread this bug is, but it seems as if MacBook Pro users won't be able to use their keyboards, which is a big no-no for a Long Term Support.

This is a big issue, and unless there is some configuration error with the machine, it's very important that the issue is resolved. LTS comes out in a matter of days and I still can't type on my computer :/

Hi TDJACR,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 549112

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

With the newest .32 kernel mainline, it works fine.
