Confirming this bug in Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a Dell Dimension E510 (which has no PS/2-style keyboard ports). I tried the Desktop, Alternate and Server disks with the same result. I'm using a USB to PS/2 adapter, but it did the same with a "native" USB keyboard.

DELL BIOS version: A07 (01/08/07)

To get to the text installer, I held a Shift key as soon as the Dell's Setup/Boot menu disappeared, and answered "no" to the "Load Boot Graphics" prompt. From there the text install went fine, and the keyboard and mouse work fine.
