Check that your public key is in $HOME/.ssh where $HOME is your home directory. It should be named id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub and should match what you had on windows. Your private key needs to be named id_rsa or id_dsa. I am asking because your symptoms make me think that your keys are not being picked up. -- G.
