I am having the same issue after applying the last round of updates in
synaptic. Mine seems related to the CDROM drive. If it is closed during
boot, with or without a CD in it, I get the hang more often. If there is
a CD in the drive, the system always hangs on startup.

Public bug reported:
Installed kubuntu 8.10 on my Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop. Laptop
originally came from Dell with Ubuntu 6.x installed.
Keyboard intermittently stops working. Mouse (touchpad) continues to
work. If I log out, the keyboard works in KDM and I can log back in and
everything is fine.
