In the graphical boot menu for the Jaunty release that I got from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/info/2204 , the keyboard doesn't work. Actually only the Esc key works.

Someone on #ubuntu-bugs suggested to me to try to see if my computer has the same problem with the latest stable release. I booted from an Intrepid release and I encountered the same problem.

If I don't touch the keyboard, after the timer reaches 0 the live CD desktop loads fine. But at any key press, the image gets blurry and a login screen appears. This only happens in Jaunty.

Here are my conputer's specs:
- motherboard: Soltek SL-75KAV;
- processor: AMD Athlon XP 2000+;
- RAM: 1GiB;
- video: Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT based video card + 22in LCD monitor;
- 500GB HDD, DVD-RW drive, DVD combo drive;
- USB mouse and keyboard.

On another HDD on the same machine I run Windows XP and have no problems, so the hardware must be fine.
