I also have this problem with a PS/2 keyboard running on a VIA chipset
motherboard.

The keyboard does not work:
* when booting into "Recovery mode" (runlevel 1).

The keyboard does work:
* in the BIOS Setup;
* in GRUB;
* when booting into full graphical mode (runlevel 2);
* after switching from full graphical mode into single user mode (sudo init 1);
* in any mode using Knoppix 5.1.1, openSUSE 10.2, and Fedora 7.

The keyboard previously worked correctly in:
* Ubuntu 6.06;
* Ubuntu 6.10.

The keyboard worked sometimes under previous Ubuntu 7.04 kernel
revisions if the Num Lock key was pressed immediately after the boot
process switched off the Num Lock light.  Changing the Num Lock setting
in the BIOS has no effect on the problem.

For reference, my specific keyboard is a Unicomp Customizer (formerly
Lexmark, formerly IBM), and can be found at http://www.pckeyboard.com/ .

Other helpful output is attached.
