  My hunch is that PnP has gotten confused about what IRQ the keyboard uses.

  Can you get into the CMOS configuration?  If so, look to the PCI/PnP
screen.  There should be a setting there called something like "Update ESCD",
showing "No" as the current setting.  Change this to "Yes" and reboot.  This
will force PnP to redo configuration of devices -- the item will
automatically reset itself to "No" at the end of this process so it doesn't
happen on every boot.

  If you can't get to the CMOS config, more drastic steps may be necessary.
If this doesn't fix the problem, we'll try to think of something else to try.
