Bug Description
Installing Ubuntu 8.04 Alternate version from CD-ROM on a Dell Optiplex GX520 with A11 BIOS fails. As soon as the boot loader shows the language selection screen, the keyboard is locked. I used a Dell USB multimedia keyboard during these attempts, so I'm not sure if a PS/2 keyboard would have the same issue. I attempted to change some BIOS settings, but nothing was working. I still had a Win32 install on the machine, so I grabbed A10 BIOS from Dell's site and downgraded the BIOS. Attempted the install again and now it's working great.
