10.10 boots to tty1, keyboard doesn't work

[plalonde]

After a reboot earlier today, my Ubuntu 10.10 box (which I set up earlier today) has started rebooting to tty1. But I can't type a username - nothing appears, although the system does respond to control-alt-delete, and reboots. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the setup when I boot using the live CD and mount my disk.

Any clues?

Gave up. Doing a new install with /home in a different partition. At least recovery will be faster.
