Hello,

I had problems with keyboard (not PS/2) too, unfortunately they are not reproducible. The failure mode is basically:
- I reboot using ctrl-alt-del - The keyboard is dead during the boot - the ESC does not interrupt the memory check, no input to LILO possible etc. - Linux booting process does not correct the situation - Hard reset (even during the memory check) brings the kbd back to normal
This is QDI Commander PPro mainboard and 6+ years old Chicony keyboard. The keyboard had its own problems in the past, but 10 minutes with the soldering iron resolved them :-)
The first time it happened was some late 2.1.x and appr. 4 times since then. It did not happened at any other occassion as the reboot. As this is very rare situation, I have no idea, whether kbd-reset kernel option helps.
