Parameswaran Sivatharman, as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 an update
is available for your BIOS (MM51.0077.B10). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it
doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the
output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Thank you for your understanding.
** Description changed:
Quantal server 20120914 and Precise server 20120913.1 on mac mini.
The keystrokes of the usb keyboard at the language selection menu of the
quantal-server-amd64+mac installation are not recognised. Pressing the
enter key does not enable the installation to progress and the
installation is stuck at the language selection menu.
- The behaviour is very similar to 1017879( fix released), but this time with
mac mini on precise and quantal.

+
+ For desktop installations the keyboard is not recognised *only* during
+ the human-keyboard screen. Because pressing the space bar during that
+ menu does not bring the text only installation window, instead it
+ progress to the screen (screen shot attached desk_inst.jpg). where we
+ could either 'Install Ubuntu' or 'Try Ubuntu' using mouse. I could
+ continue the installation using mouse and thereafter the installation
+ starts in the graphical mode i was able to use the keyboard to enter the
+ values such as selecting the regions, username passwords etc. Keyboard
+ worked after the installation as well.
