Let's see how I would do this.

First, I would need to reinstall the i386 version of 12.04.1 that had
the unresponsive keyboard error.  I might be able to free up some space
for this.  Then I would boot into the known broken i386 version.

Then I guess I would have to use SSH to connect remotely to the non-
functioning computer after the installation since I cannot use the
keyboard.   I should then download and install the updated kernel you
pointed to above.  Then I could return to the original machine, reboot
it and see if the keyboard works.  Are those the steps you want me to
undertake?

Remember the computer works fine with the amd64 version of the stock
12.04.1 kernel that comes on the installation CD.  It only fails when
the i386 version is installed.  Obviously I've already deleted that
version from the machine entirely and overwrote the partition in which
it was installed with the working amd64 version.
