In the bios of this super micro board This is the way I handle things with my own USB keyboard. However, I can't use a dual-boot loader or interrupt the boot-up countdown (I want to do that to be able to load a different kernel or boot single user in an emergency) if I do this. Can you or someone else tell me how to fix that? > ps2 keyboard I can go in and type /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 > /dev/null , then it starts working again. However once I I don't know if this will help with your specific problem, but have you tried putting this command in a boot script? (/etc/rc.local?)
