Ubuntu 13.04 on Packard Bell Easynote LE11BZ

Raring Ringtail

After disabling UEFI in BIOS, I've booted Ubuntu GNU/Linux 13.04 Live-CD (tried with Gnome and LXDE editions). All works fine except the keyboard and touchpad.
I can only move pointer with an external mouse (USB), and write with an external keyboard (USB).

What can I look for, to find the problem?

I've tested now with these other Live-CD versions:

• Lubuntu 11.10: Both onboard keyboard and touchpad work.
• Lubuntu 12.04: Both onboard keyboard and touchpad work.
• Lubuntu 12.10: Don't work (only work external devices through USB)
• Lubuntu 13.04: Don't work (only work external devices through USB)

For all the cases, integrated keyboard works in GRUB stage

Following this page, I've checked input devices:

$ xinput -list

⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]

$ xinput --list-props 12

(doesn't appear any touchpad, and integrated keyboard seems to be activated)

$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled
true

Surprisingly, all the devices work perfectly if I boot with an additional USB pendrive plugged (need to be FAT formatted). Tried booting Ubuntu-gnome 13.04 Live-USB:

Here I've fount the solution, thanks to Javier Aragones (javara2305):
http://www.taringa.net/posts/linux/5...Commodore.html

Simply adding this parameter to kernel on boot entry (GRUB):
