Could be your keymap too. Lots of systems seem to have keyboard
problems due to keymap changes lately at least on 2.6 kernels.
The usb legacy support in bioses can screw up if buggy and prevent a
real ps/2 keyboard from working in some cases. acpi also sometimes
seems to have bugs that break keyboard support. I assume the keyboard
works fine at the boot loader?
