I had difficulty logging in when i upgraded to potato as well....reasoning behind this, my "qwerty" keyboard map had been changed to an "azerty" keyboard map (not sure why), all he has to do to fix this(if this is it) is run kbdconfig.....to check and see if this is the problem typ 'qwerty' at the login prompt and make sure 'qwerty' shows up and not 'azerty'
