I've tested the lenny live CD on MBP (SantaRosa model),and i have this
problem. I'm booting with rEFIt.

The integrated keyboard doesn't work, and USB too. But, with knoppix
5.0 (debian-based) i doesn't have these problem (uses syslinux too).

I have tried the amd64-version on a Lenovo R61 as well as on my

not boot properly and I could not use the keyboard.

someone already reported this (it's a problem with syslinux), but i have
almost no to no hope that this will get fixed; don't have access to
macbook hardware.

Unfortunately I don't think this is a bug in syslinux, I have seen it happen
with lilo and with windows CDs as well. I belive it is a bug in apples
compatibility service module. It seems to be somewhat sensitive to the exact
boot method. I haven't tried debian-live but with other CDs I find it
usually succeeds if I remove all power from the machine before starting.
Then the hold C key during bootup to boot the CD and then release the C key
as soon as I hear the CD drive spin up. If I boot through rEFIt it always
fails.
