I don't understand what you mean by booting to a single user
maintenance mode.  How do I do that?

At the grub menu, select the kernel you wish to boot.
Press "e"
Move cursor to the "kernel" line
Press "e"
Move cursor to the end of the line. Append " 1" or " single"
Press<enter>
Press "b"

This will load the kernel and run a modified start-up sequence (not the
regular init command). You get a root shell which is quite limited but usually
adequate for repairing broken system.

In a way, it's very similar to booting into a LiveCD without having to go and
find the CD first


Hi,

and again I learnd something I didn't know, jet.

Anyway I also would try to follow Dales advise with pressing "i" during boot.

Also some time ago I had a problem after an upgrade with my keyboard. Changing to usb was the workaround for me (the keyboard has usb and the ps2?). Anyway I never fixed the problem.
