It certainly used to work on other LFS builds and I don't recall seeing

Any idea which kernel version you used in the previous build ?
Nope, can't remember. *BUT* thinking about it, I only changed my KVM
recently. My old one was pure ps/2 in and out...
Interestingly, I have a 4 port KVM which has ps/2 inputs for the
keyboard and mouse and uses USB outputs. So the connection to Winblows
and LFS is USB...
So, the common point seems to be a PS/2 UK keyboard going into a
usb adaptor. Hmm.

The interesting thing I noticed due to my mouse (A logitech mx1000) is
that the KVM doesn't "pass thru" the identities of the devices. the
dmesg log just shows up two KVM interfaces as USB KVM SWITCH on
/class/input/input0 and 1.
This means I can't set up a udev rule to create a "mx1000 port" in /dev
but that's not relevant here. It just made me think that the kernel
might not know that there is a keyboard plugged in or something????
