I have the same issue with the Ubuntu/Kubuntu 64bit Alternative CD and 64bit DVD. After the black screen with the cursor, if you are patient enough, after 3 minutes you will have an error saying it can find the CDROM device. As for USB mouse and keyboard, If you wait 2 minutes it will start to work. When I finally managed to access the console, there was no device for the CDROM. With ot without NOLAPIC as boot parameter.
I was running OpenSuse 11.2 64bit and the only way to install with USB mouse/keyboard, was to set NOLAPIC in the boot parameter to get the mouse/keyboard to function. After the siystem was installed it was no required. When I updated the kernel to 2.6.32 USB devices started to acting up and this wait time of 2-3 minutes appeared. Tons of USB error messages started to appear. Since when I launch Kubuntu or any other distros I have this wait time (NOLAPIC or not). I am starting to thing the 2.6.32 kernel might have brick my DVD/USB/Motherborad partialy. I was able to install Windows XP (needed to being able to acces the net). Something who look somewhat related is within WinXP I need to go in the Device manager and redetect hardware to get the DVD drive to appear. Might be realted to the Netbook version of XP tho. For now I am stuck in XP/IE. Next step is to flash the bios.
