Bug Description
I've followed the procedure which produces this bug before: installing Ubuntu 6.10 from a Live CD, upgrading to Feisty over an internet connection. The first time I did it it worked fine. Since the first installation my hard drive crashed and I had to do it again. I've now done it two times and both times, after rebooting when asked by the upgrade process, I can't type anything into the login text box.
These are the things that have changed since the first upgrade to Feisty (when it didn't produce this problem):
1. Moved some hardware around in my computer. I had my two hard drives on separate IDE RAID controllers (RAID disabled) on my ABIT KR7A-RAID motherboard. Now they are both on IDE1 (non-RAID). My two CD-ROM drives were both masters at IDE1 and IDE2 respectively, they are now master and slave at IDE2.
2. New graphics card. Changed from an old ASUS AGP V5500 / 32 MB to ASUS GeForce FX 5200.
3. Changed keyboard in the first non-working installation. The second non-working installation I did with my old keyboard which worked the first time upgrading.
My keyboard works fine at the BIOS screen and in GRUB. But when choosing the upgraded installation and I get to the login screen it doesn't work anymore.
The keyboard is connected to my PC via a PS/2 connector. My mouse, which is an USB mouse, works fine. This, of course, begs the question if I've tried with a USB keyboard but I don't own one unfortunately.
I've been looking through the /var/log/ directory of my non-working installation and I found a few things which might be interesting, they're included below.
Various logs from /var/log/:
