Title:
  Rescue mode not usable with latest kernel

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If booting the lates kernel "linux-image-3.0.0-15-server", rescue mode
  is not usable. The system will boot into rescue mode, then show the
  menu, but no keypress is accepted. You can't select any entry using
  up- and down-arrow keys, enter isn't accepted, tab is ignored.

  Booting kernel "linux-image-3.0.0-14-server" all is ok again.

  The same applies for all other latest kernels for all other Ubuntu-
  Versions:

  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: "linux-image-2.6.32-38-virtual" does not work with rescue mode, while "linux-image-2.6.32-37-virtual" works
  Ubuntu 10.10: "linux-image-2.6.35-32-server" does not work with rescue mode, while "linux-image-2.6.35-31-server" works
  Ubuntu 11.04: "linux-image-2.6.38-13-server" does not work with rescue mode, while "linux-image-2.6.38-12-server" works
  Ubuntu 11.10: "linux-image-3.0.0-15-server" does not work with rescue mode, while "linux-image-3.0.0-14-server" works
  Ubuntu 12.04: "linux-image-3.2.0-9-generic" does not work with rescue mode, while "linux-image-3.2.0-8-generic" works

  For plain vanilla kernels: "linux-image-3.1.10" doe not work with rescue mode, while "linux-image-3.1.9" works
  Other plain vanilla kernels I did not test. 

  All tests where done using kvm-qemu and VMwareWorkstation/Player 7 or
  8
