Details:

When Grub2 is loading the kernel if I press the spacebar a few times, I will
be unable to use the mouse. Modprobing it will not work I have to reboot and
not press the spacebar. Not present in Grub Legacy. I have not tested to see
if other keys affect this. Present in distros Arch Linux and Ubuntu Natty
Narwhal.
