This is not just an Ubuntu issue. I have a HP Pavilion dv9500z, and this problem during boot occurred with openSuse 11.1, and Centos 5.2 as well. Somewhere between 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 the problem appeared, I think. Something in the boot process is waiting for an event, and the keyboard press supplies the kick. The fact that it seems to occur throughout the first half of the boot may be significant, and it is a laptop issue. Maybe, as noted above, it's a Compaq/HP issue. I also get the "Clocksource tsc unstable" message, and the two issues seem to be related.
