Where exactly? Do you get about here and it stops:

Detected 497.841 MHz processor.
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25

Or did you compile in the AT keyboard support or is it modular. I found it
is much safer to compile support in.

I have these as well and they work :-) Note I just started working on
fbcon support so only vgacon/mdacon works right now. Do you have a NVIDIA
card. We have a driver for that as well. Another thing to point out is for
a functioning VT you need one keyboard and one display. Using /dev/event
you can access any keyboard, attached or not attached to a VT.
