I'm assuming the kbd works, i.e. if you boot you can get into the bios and 
such, affect the boot menu, etc. If that is the case I don't really know. 
Maybe possible to boot a live cd, go into a terminal and fix from there? 
Others here may know if that's viable. Again assuming you have a live cd even 
of an earlier version? Alas I'm at a loss here

Just to recap this happened after a dist upgrade from 8.04/9.04 to 10.04? Old 
emails are deleted my end so trying to make sure I have an idea what to 
google. And didn't you mention some kbd error earlier re it's mapping? the 
more 

Do any keys work at all or just certain keys giving errors, like the hot keys, 
e.g. function keys. Do you have a keyboard you can swap over to see if the 
prob relates to that specific kbd? Does the mouse freeze?

managed to find some of your prev emails so have a lil to go on for nowI'm 
sure someone will figure it out
