    I have some motherboards like that too, they've always been broken.

    I deal with it by rolling a release with the flags set to force PS/2 keyboard
    detection. I'd like it fixed but I don't have the clue to do so. The bit *I*
    see as broken is keybaord detection. Dunno if its the same for you..
