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?
