I suspect Antony needs either "kbd-reset" on the kernel command line or "keyboard=1" in the nsuperio line in mainboard/Config.
Thanks for the suggestions Steve, but no, neither of those (not even both together) worked.
Just in case it helps, I spotted the NO_KEYBOARD option in some of the other motherboard config files, so I thought "if it's not going to work, I may as well disable it, then it won't waste time trying to get it working", so I put
option NO_KEYBOARD=1
into my config file, built a new image and re-flashed it, but I still get exactly the same several hundred "pc_keyb: controller jammed (0xFF)" messages at startup.
However, I have noticed a discrepancy between the box the motherboard came in and the manual which was with it, and although I said previously that it was a PC-Chips M810LMR, the manual says it's actually an M810LR - if there's any other info I can provide to pin down whether this is significant please let me know.
The biggest thing I'm trying to fix now is the onboard ethernet interface (SiS900) which the standard kernel driver tells me (from dmesg): sis900.c: v1.08.04 4/25/2002 PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:01.1 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:01.6 eth0: No MII transceivers found!
Under the normal Bios boot, the same driver gives me: sis900.c: v1.08.04 4/25/2002 PCI: Found IRQ 12 for device 00:01.1 eth0: Realtek RTL8201 PHY transceiver found at address 1. eth0: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd400, IRQ 12, 00:07:95:e2:c0:b6
