Hmm, I remember I had some trouble with the PS/2 keyboard when I dist-upgraded (to squeeze?) an old box of mine and the fix was some kernel parameter. Let's see... aha, it was "i8042.nopnp". Can't remember what it does though. You might also want to look into BIOS settings and/or upgrades, or using a USB-to-PS/2 adapter if you want to keep the keyboard.
