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.
