Hi,

and again I learnd something I didn't know, jet.

Anyway I also would try to follow Dales advise with pressing "i" during 
boot.

Also some time ago I had a problem after an upgrade with my keyboard. 
Changing to usb was the workaround for me (the keyboard has usb and the 
ps2?). Anyway I never fixed the problem.

Regards
