I have Windows XP Pro SP3 installed, and I just dual-booted it with Ubuntu. Whenever I reboot to select an OS, my keyboard won't work, so I can't select Ubuntu. Just Windows.

I'm using an Saitek Eclipse USB keyboard.

USB keyboards usually don't work with bios, or before you are into an operating system. Some BIOS's have an enable legacy USB feature which you will have to get into using a PS/2 Keyboard.

Ah, cool. I'll try that.

Worked like a charm.

Now that I'm in Ubuntu, Ubuntu freezes whenever I run Firefox.
