yes it would help, there has been a few reports (especially from people 
with laptops) that the keyboard doesn't work under the 2.4 kernel. Some 
have indicated that the 2.6 kernel solved the problems and I think it 
would help in trying to spot a pattern here.

You don't need to run the full installation again, just try booting the 
debian installer with 2.6 ("boot: linux26") and see if the keyboard 
works at the first screen or not.
