Bug Description
While answering posts on UF, it was noticed that thereare numerous unresolved complaints about PS/2 keyboards. It seems to be that when users boot up a live cd, they lose control of their PS/2 keyboard, which works on other operating systems. Also, using a USB keyboard fixes their computer problems.
The current work around appears to be typing while booting.
Since this is a basic function, and I could not find a bug report, I reported it, though I can't replicate it on my computer (I don't have a PS/2 keyboard).
Some examples of complains on the forums include:

A similar bug (except with a PS/2 mous) was previously filed in bugzilla here: http://
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Do you know if there are any reports of this issue with Feisty Fawn? Thanks in advance.
