Somehow, the command-line arguments passed to the kernel at boot has had "braille=ask" added. To immediately solve this problem, I suggest you open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst as root, and search for braille-ask, and delete it. Do not delete the entire line, just delete that part of the line. Then as root, run the command "update-grub". This should stop the constant prompting at boot.

I would also like to know what CD you used to install Ubuntu, so I can attempt to track down that problem, and make sure it is fixed for future Ubuntu releases.

Hope this helps.
