The PS/2 keyboard was made optional in 4.2 to allow for USB only 
keyboard systems. Probably, your keyboard is fishy enough to not be
recognised. If you remove "flags 1" on the atkbd0 line you may be in
luck.

Then again, maybe not... Hunt the archive for KVM switches and their
effect on 4.2 for more background.
