Believe it or not, the problem was GPM. Yank the GPM command from your
startup script and watch your keyboard suddenly start working after a
reboot. Then log in and start GPM and see if your keyboard stops working.
The problem in my case is that GPM was trying to find a ps2 mouse when I
didn't actually have one hooked up. Actually hooking up a mouse also
solved the problem. 

Updating to a later kernel fixed the problem entirely.

&gt; &gt; Guys,
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Just rebooted my ubuntu box after doing a dist-upgrade last night, and
&gt; &gt; now I no longer have keyboard functionality.  The keyboard works fine
&gt; &gt; in the bios and in grub, but as soon as I select a kernel and boot it
&gt; &gt; no longer responds. I first thought it might be related to the
&gt; &gt; upgrade, so I dropped a live ubuntu cd in...same behavior...fine in
&gt; &gt; grub and bios, screwed as soon as it loaded the kernel.
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; Was able to get the keyboard to work under Knoppix...now to identify the
&gt; key difference.  If you have any suggestions, I'm happy to listen.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks!
&gt;
