1. hit 'esc' while Grub is loading (multiple times because you only have a 2 second window) 2. it should now show a list of kernels 3. find your newest kernel that doesn't say '(recovery mode)' and hit 'e' (for edit) - usually at the very top 4. find the line that begins with 'kernel' and hit 'e' again 5. at the end of the 'kernel' line, remove 'quiet' (for debugging purposes) and concatenate 'acpi=off' (or whichever boot parameter you would like to try) 6. then hit 'esc' when you're finished 7. hit 'b' to boot the specific kernel you just edited
Then, if your keyboard starts acting "normal", you can open a terminal, type 'sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst' and add 'acpi=off' to every 'kernel' line that you will boot from. You don't have to erase 'quiet' this time, because there is no point in debugging the boot sequence once the problem is solved.
