i just installed ubuntu 10.04 alongside a machine with windows xp on it,

installed ubuntu to an encrypted partition. the keyboard works in BIOS

passphrase to unlock the drive, i cannot enter it. also the num lock
doesn't turn on/off at this point either. i'm just using a run of the
mill USB keyboard and mouse. the keyboard/mouse work fine when i boot
into windows also.

Sounds like you are typing in the wrong passphrase/password. It is typed in "blind" - ie, nothing appears on the screen. And don't forget that the passphrase is case sensitive.
