I had installed Xubuntu 10.04 which had temporarily solved the porblem, however the bug described here then started to occur in Xubuntu 10.04: keyboard freezing with a repeating character and frozen mouse at login; sometimes I'd be able to login but the mouse and keyboard would free. Editing etc/default/irqbalance so that irqbalance was off (set =0) seems to have solved the problem.
