Title:
  Hardy 8.04 Alt. Install fails with A11 BIOS on Dell GX520

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installing Ubuntu 8.04 Alternate version from CD-ROM on a Dell
  Optiplex GX520 with A11 BIOS fails. As soon as the boot loader shows
  the language selection screen, the keyboard is locked. I used a Dell
  USB multimedia keyboard during these attempts, so I'm not sure if a
  PS/2 keyboard would have the same issue. I attempted to change some
  BIOS settings, but nothing was working. I still had a Win32 install on
  the machine, so I grabbed A10 BIOS from Dell's site and downgraded the
  BIOS. Attempted the install again and now it's working great.
