It's probably the stupid USB keyboard mod, which disables the standard
keyboard when no keyboard is attached during boot, unless you specify
flags 0x1 for the keyboard controller, even if no USB keyboard is found.
I don't mind having USB keyboard detection in there, but it should not go
and disable the main keyboard if the main keyboard doesn't happen to be
plugged in.
This is like the fifth person who has gotten smacked by that. It's
*really* annoying to have all of one's rack mount machines suddenly
stop accepting a keyboard being plugged in after an upgrade.
