I had a computer once which exhibited this behavior. It's not
Debian-related; it's hardware related. I couldn't even get into the

I'm rethinking that (it's been a long time, and my memory fails me); I
might could get into the BIOS; I vaguely recall going in and checking it
for such things as Legacy USB support. But otherwise, my memory tells me
I was seeing what you describe. I remember that it "felt" like a flakey
motherboard; if I recall correctly, it had come in for repair after a
lightning strike at the owner's house had fried the power supply or
jolted the drive into death, or something similar (and another tech had
resurrected it to the point of running Windows, but the original owner
had given up on it by then and bought a more recent computer anyway).
Although the mobo appeared fine otherwise, the keyboard just wouldn't
work outside of Windows. It was very weird to me.
