Hmm. I am using an IWill DP6NS Board (Dual PPro-200/512) with 2.0.35 and
2.0.36 (SuSE 5.2, no X) and seem to have the same problem: After some time
(maybe several days) the keyboard doesn't work any more. Even pressing
Num-Lock does not turn the Num-Lock light on. I thought this was a hardware
defect with my board ... but if you have the same problem ... who knows ...

I think the keyboard controller is integrated with the ALI M5321
Multi-IO-Chip used on my board. What keyboard controller does your board
use? Maybe this is related to the problem ...

Tschuess
