Here's how I solved this problem: Boot the 11.04 Live CD. Switch to a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F1. Follow these instructions to mount your HD and get all the necessary /dev entries in a chroot enviornment: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-...e-from-livecd/ Next, edit /etc/default/grub and comment out the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 Run update-grub Reboot. Now the SHIFT key *will* bring up the grub menu; hold SHIFT after your BIOS POST. Select an older kernel. For me, 2.6.38-8 worked. Your keyboard should now work. Go and do an update with the update manager to get the latest kernel. Edit /etc/default/grub and put the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 back in. Run update-grub. Reboot. Worked for me. Your mileage may vary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822486 Title: Mouse and keyboard no longer work after upgrading to 11.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/822486/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
