Strange thought... have you checked to see that the keyboard is plugged into
the keyboard port, and not the mouse port? I've seen guys tearing out there
hair over that one... because the case was marked backwards.

It could be a faulty keyboard. I had a keyboard for about 6 or 7 years
and it still works great but only because the buttons starting to not
work well anymore so I decided to get another keyboard. After doing so
I discovered that my linux stopped locking up when it first start
XWindows after almost every other boot. I did not think it was a
keyboard causing it because Windows works fine with it but certainly
even if the keyboard "seems" to work fine it may still have a problem if
you are experiencing strange result.
