This is what i don't understand, the 2.6.8 sarge kernel is working just fine on pegasos. Everyone is using it, so there is something bad here.

You can install those sid/etch kernel over a sarge system, you just need to rebuild the etch/sid yaird and the backported udev from backport.org.

But i guess this means you use initramfs-tools to generate the ramdisk, and initramfs-tools is supposed to include i8042/atkbd. Please file a bug report abvout your issue against initramfs-tools.
