Still occurs in Jaunty 32bit (VirtualBox) and Karmic Alpha-4 (real hardware, PS2 keyboard). I boot the livecd, press F6 add single, boot, and then nothing works. I can type RR and it seems as though it selects the rootshell, but pressing Enter doesn't do anything, I am still in whiptail and can still select menu items.

Pressing Cntl-C quits whiptail, but instead of giving me a root shell it just starts normally or complains that init has been terminated. Would it be possible to at least trap the Ctrl-C and cause it to give me a root shell?
