just a blind shot,
may be the airbord keyboard is sort of windows hardware
and is not suported by linux, but the keyboard of course works
with the BIOS so you can enter the BIOS or use it on lilo's prompt,
and when linux takes over the BIOS during boot you lose it.
i think you have to be happy that it works with the PS2 to USB adapter :)
best,
