Well, I installed Windows 7 on the machine and the same keys that don't work with Gentoo now also didn't work with Windows. So it looks to be a hardware issue. But it's really weird.. physically I see nothing wrong with the keys. ThinkAdvantage button still works during POST but not when an OS is running. The Fn keys no longer work nor do the volume/mute keys. But the play/pause buttons do. I guess I'll be taking it to get repaired.
