Ubuntu 8.10-alpha 3 with updates.

I did at fresh install of intrepid 8.10 alpha 3 i386 on a IBM Thinkpad T20. Fixed a X-server problem using the new rescue panel. Ran update manager and installed everything.

Next boot: Black screen (again). Booted with rescue, fixed the X-server again, updated from the net and rebooted.

Now bios settings are gone (the bios does not show the familiar "F1 for help, F12 for boot menu" below the IBM logo anymore. Worse, the mouse is completely dead (cursor is locked on the logon screen), and only special keys such as ctrl-alt-F1, ctrl-alt-del and "Caps Lock" work. I can not enter a username for login. Kernel is shown in GRUB as: intrepid-2.6-26-5-generic

I've tried to use the intrepid-2.6-26-4-generic and the rescue - neither works now, the PC is a brick.
