The first thing I'd do, I'd rule out the possibility of your laptop's
keyboard dying, by firing up a live distro CD or two and pressing
various keys to see their output. Other than that, the recent versions
of Ubuntu have been jumping through hoops to shorten boot time. They
achieved excellent speeds (at least judging from their lightning-fast
"live" CDs), but some hardware recognition routines just *might* have
gotten borked in the process ...
