Another update - I found that selecting safeboot option and typing during the boot (random keys) will secure me keyboard access when the safe mode options load. If I don't use the keyboard during boot it will be locked out to like in a regular boot. From the safe mode I can choose options like booting to root console in order to run updates (I am completely up-to-date as of April 5) and do other keyboard tasks from the console. However, returning to normal boot mode still results in a loss of keyboard support requiring hard-reboot.

I can copy out some items from the dpkg log if that'll help.
