This sounds a lot like the problem I had with a Pentium motherboard I
tried to use recently.  The problem turned out to be an old BIOS that (as
I recall) wasn't properly initializing the keyboard controller or some
such.  I upgraded the BIOS and it started working.

This was a desktop computer, but that sort of thing might be something to
look at, anyway.
