Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
Ubuntu boots fine if after the GRUB menu shows, I'm picking the menu
item manually by pressing "ENTER" on the keyboard.
If I let the GRUB timeout expire, Ubuntu doesn't boot and immediately
restarts.
I'm using a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 USB keyboard and BIOS set to
'emulate legacy USB keyboard' if that helps. Because without that
option, Ubuntu's GRUB, Ubuntu LiveCD, in addition to many other boot-
time applications cannot use the keyboard at all.
This seems to be somewhat configuration-specific as many other computers
boot fine with GRUB.
I think it also relates to the Linux kernel.
I've tried experimenting with/disabling the following GRUB options, they have
no effect to resolving this problem:
* hiddenmenu
* quiet
* splash

Description: Linux kernel image for version 2.6.22 on x86/x86_64
This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.22 on x86/x86_64.
Also includes the corresponding System.map file, the modules built by the
packager, and scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in an
unbootable state after an update.
Supports Server processors.
Geared toward server systems.
You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the
linux-server meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and
that supporting packages are also installed.
