i have not seen this problem, but in arch/i386/boot/setup.S there are several things that poke the keyboard. the repeat is set, some a20 gate stuff is poked and there keyboard ctlr's buffer is emptied. plan 9 leaves a lot of that stuff alone. to be honest, this seems unlikely but you could try compiling linux kernels commenting out the various bits that fiddle the kbd controller. otherwise there's a chance of interaction between usb legacy mode emulation and linux' usb stack. - erik
