I doubt that will work with kernel 2.6. There won't be a list for AT-type keyboards as IIRC you don't have an AT-type keyboard connector. However, I have prepared an iso [1] for testing a hack that I hope will solve the problem. We would appreciate it very much if you could test that (I can only test very limited myself as I don't have an usb kbd). Note that this iso is not suitable for full installations, but is build just for testing this problem. Please test with both 2.4 and 2.6 and USB PC and USB Mac keyboards. I suggest you boot with 'linux(26) debconf/priority=medium' or 'expert(26)' to give you more control during the tests. If my hack is correct, you should be shown the AT list for the USB PC keyboard and the USB/Mac list for the USB Mac keyboard. Could you send us the output of 'grep "kbd-chooser\[" /var/log/syslog' (just after you select a keyboard) for all tests for verification? Could you also let us know the vendor-id for both keyboards (available from /proc/bus/usb/devices).
