I have been having a keyboard problem for a year now. I am dual-booting Mint 8 and Win 7 and an ACER 5517 with burg, everything works great. Whenever I try to install ANY other version or distro my keyboard dosen't work after the bootloader though.
I wonder why just Mint 8 works?
I finally found someone with what sounds like the same problem on another thread somewhere else. The solution that worked for them was adding "i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1" to the boot options.
What exactly does this do?
I'd really like to run LMDE. I have the .ISO downloaded and burned. How do I go about adding this to the boot options?

Re: Setting Boot Options for LMDE Install
Do need to use a USB keyboard to get through the install and then edit grub?
Will it work?
