Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am running a 2.6.20.12 kernel
that I compiled myself. And it is a problem that has only existed on
this kernel, so far.

My keyboard is a very standard PS/2. Which module needs to load for
that? I don't remember any odd configurations for the keyboard when I
compiled, but I will go back and look through the config again just to
see if I am overlooking something.

Well, not that I can see. But, I will admit that I am likely
overlooking something. The complaint, "input: AT Translated Set 2
keyboard as /class/input/input4", is in /var/log/messages. Earlier in
the same file there are more of the same, but instead of
/class/input/input4 they say /class/input/input0. I don't remember if
that ever came up on screen, but I only remember the input4 quite
recently, and I think these older ones predate my current kernel and
the problem I am dealing with right now.
