Same problem with Dell Precision 380. I have an old, expensive
ergonomic keyboard that uses PS/2. The system's own setup menus and
GRUB loader have no problem seeing this keyboard, but as soon as Feisty
Fawn starts up, nada. I tried the "acpi=off" trick even though the
keyboard doesn't have any power management buttons; I didn't expect it
to work and it didn't. I don't know how to disable USB keyboard support
in the BIOS so didn't try that. Of course no problem using a USB
keyboard.
I tested a PS/2 to USB adapter and it seems to work OK, so I have
ordered one for myself. But it does seem like a pretty serious omission
not to support PS/2. The joy of distros like Ubuntu is having them run
nicely on older hardware, extending their useful life considerably.
