OK, I figured it out (I think). I normally go through a Avocent KVM switch (USB), to share the keyboard and mouse between multiple systems. Unfortunately the keyboard died a week or so ago, so I plugged a ps/2 model directly into the main box as a temporary measure... but didn't think to disconnect the KVM. After doing so, 2.6.10 correctly detects the keyboard on bootup and everything seems to be working correctly.
I haven't pursued it any farther, although I'd be happy to do so if anyone thinks it would be beneficial. My guess is that only a single keyboard is allowed, and 2.6.10 simply saw the USB one first. Not sure if that was caused by an explicit change in the code, or merely due to the order in which the drivers were linked in. Either way, I'm up and running. ;-)
