Thanks for the update.  It should be possible to retrieve the upgrade
history of the kernel with a command like

	zgrep -F 'status installed linux-image-2.6.' /var/log/dpkg.log* |less

though it might not extend back too far.  Anyway, have you been
tracking the squeeze kernel since then or some other repository like
sid?  Could you name an early-ish version (like "2.6.32-28" or
"2.6.38-5", something like that) that you're confident worked?

I ask because such information would be very helpful for getting an
idea of what happened if it happens again.  Anyway, glad to hear your
keyboard works again. :)

Cheers,
Jonathan
