    There could be several causes why your keyboard and mouse no longer
    work. Do you have the normal PS2 keyboard and mouse? Are they plugged
    into the right PS2 ports? Do you have a USB keyboard and mouse? A
    wireless mouse? Did you change any setting in BIOS? Is USB legacy
    support enable in BIOS?

    For me, I believe I had to activate acpi and to disble USB legacy
    support. What your problem might be could also be specific to what
    choices you use for language and what type of keyboard you are using.

    At least you can get the information via ssh. Have you tried to login
    using runlevel 3?
