(Get the code!)
I'm using vesafb (having 80x25 VT on 24" screen is quite ugly) and nvidia binary drivers.
If I don't get blue/white lines during startup, then Enter is working fine.
If I see blue/white lines (but they are flickering, looks like something else is trying to clear the screen), then there is Enter key problem. Tested few times, hopefully this is the correct pattern. In this situation I see:
before SysRq+K: /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/
after SysRq+K: /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/
/proc/fb: 0 EFI VGA
I tried to replace vesafb with vga16fb (which I assume is the default one used) and removed gfxpayload from grub boot entry. I saw nice white/blue line growing at the bottom edge of screen, but it took approx. one minute to fill the whole line with white color and nothing happened. After pressing SysRq+K I got rescue shell, so I put vesafb back.
