Is scroll lock on? Try hitting it and seeing what happens.

What kind of keyboard is it? USB or PS/2 or suchlike?

Did you compile USB HID support into your kernel?

zaitzev,

I have a similar issue with my Gateway USB keyboard.
I either have to unplug it and reconnect it, or unload and reload the USB 1.1 module so that it works.

The latter is more convient. In /etc/conf.d/local.start add

Solved, a bad compilation of the kernel

Thanks
