I think I remember running into this: this happens if you run any
loadkeys command (which Debian does by default).
If you leave the kernel keymap alone things work fine, if not, OOPS.

I don't think it is your specific Amiga. My A1200 has the same, and I
believe my HP300 also behaves this way with a 2.6 kernel.
I don't really understand what's going on here, because I assume this
code is rather generic...
Would be nice to get it fixed.
If you have a US keyboard, you can use:
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
and select the option "Keep kernel keymap".
Kind regards,
Kars.
