[Carl Turney <882317@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

1)  Running Ubuntu 10.4
2)  kernel 2.6.32-34-generic
2.5)  Have Acer Aspire5315 laptop computer, connected to a Microsoft 59758 Natural Keyboard (PS/2), via a PS/2--USB adapter.
3)  Type in my password with the external keyboard (above) at the Ubuntu login screen.
3.5)  This is exactly what happened with all versions of the kernel BEFORE 2.6.32-34-generic
4)  External keyboard DOES work for selecting boot options in GRUB, then it is ignored by the system.  AFTER a successful login (using the laptop keyboard): status lights on the keyboard light up and keyboard is recognised by the system . 

Thanks very much,
