I can tell you it's the same with SuSE. Even with numlock on in BIOS, 
it will not have numlock on when it boots. The following is a 
suggestion I have encountered several times when this question comes 
up. I myself have never tried it.

Add these two lines to your /etc/profile:

# Set keyboard leds
/usr/bin/setleds -D +num -caps -scroll

This doesn't exactly boot with NumLock on, but it should be activated
on login.

Another option: Mandrake has a program called numlock that is supposed 
to activate this for you. In my case, however, using Mandrake 7.2, it 
never seems to work.
