Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-686

PS/2 keyboard is not detected by the kernel. Before the kernel boot, eg.
in grub the keyboard works as it should, but during kernel boot it stops
working. Strange thing, if I keep pressing keys all throughout the
bootup process, then the keyboard will work. No keypresses, no keyboard.
The same is true for the kernel version included on the install CD. It's
quite a disturbing bug, when you can't install Ubuntu because you can't
type...

Tried with several keyboards, same result. Also tried with several
computers from the same batch, same result. Went and bought a PS2->USB
adaptor and all of a sudden everything worked.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
