Try PgUp/PgDn. How is the keyboard connected to the computer? – Brandon Bertelsen Sep 21 '12 at 0:05
Go to Bios and select USB keyboard Controlled by BIOS and not by OS as is the default choice. – daslinkard Sep 21 '12 at 2:09

If it were me I would probably boot a live CD/USB and

grub-install /dev/sda (or whatever your boot partition is)

This should re-install grub.

You may also want to check BIOS to see that USB is enabled, which is probably why "Brandon" is asking the question.

Good Luck Mal
