hi all!

i have a serius problem with the USB keyboard. I've installed Ubuntu but when the OS choosing menu comes up, the keyboard doesn't work, which make the ubuntu worthless :(
I have installed ubuntu before, on a previous netbook running windows XP and then the keyboard worked without problem, but now, on my Windows 7 desktop computer, the keyboard doesn't start to work until I come to the home screen! :@ any ideas for how to make the keyboard work in the "black mode" :?: would be thankful for answers!

PS. sorry for potential bad english. I'm a sweed :)

This is probably due to how you have configured your USB setup in the BIOS. Whatever it is set to, try the opposite setting.

Use a PS/2 keyboard.
Also look in your BIOS. If there is a "legacy usb" option, change it.
