I found a stack of older knoppix CDs:

Knoppix 5.1.1 - kernel 2.6.19 - keyboard does not work

Knoppix 4.0.2 - kernel 2.6.12 - keyboard works

Knoppix 3.3 - kernel 2.4.24 - keyboard works

So seriously, do the stock kernels just not support PS2 anymore? I'm still
trying to find my 3.0 debian netinstall disk, but I know that works
already...
