Running squeeze 6.04 with Gnome and all updates as of a week ago. At that

works when I boot into Ubuntu on the same HD. The strangest thing is that
sometimes I can boot into squeeze and type my login password
successfully and sometimes the keyboard is dead so I can't log in. When
I can boot in, the GUI works but I can't become root to try and trouble
shoot.
All this only happens with squeeze which has been running flawlessly ever
since 6.01 when I first installed it.
Short of reinstalling, I have no idea how to attack this. Running
searches turned up nothing applicable, unless I missed it, Any pointers
appreciated.
Interestingly, 5 of your 6 postings to this list since 12/22/2012 have
to do with keyboard problems of one sort or another.
Interestingly, no one else seems to be reporting such issues.
Blow away any kb config files you've modified and restore the default files.
