When you say the login prompt, are we talking the X login screen, or the mingetty login prompt (i.e. the CLI login presented at runlevel 3 ?). If it's the X login, try hitting CTRL-ALT-1 to swtich to a non-graphical login. If you're still stuck and you still think it's the keyboard, you could try booting the machine with neither keyboard nor mouse then reattempt the SSH login from a remote host. Failing *that* too try booting into rescue mode from a CD and see what happens then. Once you're in I'd check /var/log/messages (or /mnt/sysimage) for any weirdness. Will.
