Hi Mike, I'm not sure this is the solution to your issue, but it might help colour in the picture: I had some issues with a bare-bones Debian install that I'd done. Similarly, ssh sessions interpreted the keyboard correctly, but console sessions did not. Puting in passwords was very frustrating :) I used "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to establish a default locale and setup locales that I wanted for the system. I used "None" for the locale, but I'm not sure that'd be right for every setup.
