Exactly what type of keyboard do you have? (eg. what does lsusb say?)

What about the kernel log at startup?

Here's mine (on an Ubuntu laptop) -- the -Cn argument gives the
surrounding n lines of context.

$ grep -C2 keyboard /var/log/dmesg
[    0.595625] BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 0 devices found
[    0.595631] EDD information not available.
[    0.638265] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input5
[    0.642953] Freeing initrd memory: 7784k freed
[    0.688496] ata1.00: ATA-8: A-DATA_SSD_16GB, 081210, max UDMA/100

Note that my example, the "i8042" driver (standard PC Keyboard) is being
used. In your case, the isa0060 driver is being used.

Do you have an embedded trackpad or pointing device in the keyboard?
Where is your mouse plugged in?

This post discusses a very similar issue (albeit on Debian)

Hope it helps.
