Hi

if I run fedora core 7 test1 live cd x86 on a macbook core 2 duo, the keyboard
isn't usable until the kernel has booted, i.e. it doesn't work in grub. I've
tried ubuntu feisty (development) herd3 and this also happens.

Steps to reproduce:
1. press c on macbook startup.
2. boot from live cd
3. grub doesn't detect the keyboard and you can't change the kernel live
cd boots.

workaround:
4. let the cd start, and once gdm has started the keyboard works.
5. reboot.
6. the keyboard works on grub

this bug has also been reported in ubuntu bug tracker:
