I've tested on 2.6.30.4 which has apparently this commit, no changes.

I've booted into Ubuntu 8.10 which has 2.6.28. The keyboard was working
correctly eventhough parport_pc was loaded. I removed and re-probed and
the keyboard is gone.

I've set BIOS settings to default, nope.

I'll try bisecting when I find the last-good/first-bad kernel version.
