On start-up I will (maybe once every fourth start-up) get a situation where the MacBook starts up with the Caps Lock and Nums Lock on. Fine. But when I go to log-in the keyboard will not work, only recognising the letter "e" (I only know this because, er, it might be in my pass), and a few other letters. If I were to turn the Caps Lock off it will show the little sign in the password-box telling me it is On, and vice versa. Occasional non-responsive of the keyboard in normal operation is also evident, though it seems to be entirely random. Also, I have noticed that when shutting down the MacBook the little white light at the front of it will stay pulsing for 1/2 minutes after the screen turns off and I can still hear a faint pulsing sound (presumably the hard-drive) for the duration; when I had Tiger it was basically screen-off and everything off i.e. it "worked normally", not a 1/2 minute delay.

Anyone else have these problems? (since Leopard or otherwise) I have had my MacBook since August, these faults are only since doing a clean install of Leopard.
