have a look in the /boot/config-xxx to find the HIL support whether you
use an HIL kbd and mouse. As far as I know HIL is supported from the 2.4x
kernel for about 2 years, so it sounds strange.
If you use a common PS2 kbd have a look in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to
see if the kbd is correctly set.
There is no need to use unstable instead of testing!

Why didn't you use a 2.4.24 or 2.4.26 kernel, which is good for almost all
the *old* or *not pretty recent* ws with supported graphics card?
