Try without the KVM if you haven't already.  Some KVMs and motherboards
have funny interactions.

Are you using a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse?  If not, read on.  We have
some HP workstations running RHEL 4 where the PS/2 keyboard will only
work if the PS/2 mouse is plugged into the motherboard.  My XW4300 is
one such workstation.  I have a PS/2 mouse dangling on the back of the
workstation, but I use a USB mouse.  We were told by HP it was a Linux
2.6 kernel issue, but I believe it's an ACPI implementation issue in
HP's BIOS. ; Long story short, I wonder if the opposite might be true on
your setup.  If you're keyboard is USB, maybe your PS/2 mouse won't
work.
