Is your keyboard connected by USB, PS/2, or some other port?

Interesting. Does this still happen with a current squeeze or sid kernel? (The only packages from outside squeeze you should need in order to test the latter are initramfs-tools and linux-base.) Please attach full "dmesg" output from a successful boot. Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
