Are you using a USB or a PS2 keyboard? If it's USB you might try finding either a PS2 keyboard or using one of those little green USB to PS2 adapters that usually (at least they used to anyway) come with USB keyboards or mice.

This is a really stupid question Davo but you did make sure you plugged the PS2 keyboard into the Purple PS2 connector yes?

Stranger things have happened mate trust me.
