What type of keyboard is it? PS/2? If so: do you have the chance to
test an external USB keyboard?

And please boot with 'grml ssh=yoursecretpassword' and login from
another box (ssh grml@$GRMLSYSTEM) and check out what's inside dmesg
output regarding keyboard/PS/2/USB.

I do know this problem only from 64bit systems, never explored that
on a 32bit system. Which kernel version are you using with Mandriva?

thx && regards,
