Just looking at this you can see that the USB keyboard is not your console,
the PS/2 keyboard is your console.
This is a problem with the PS/2 keyboard driver that claims there's a PS/2
keyboard even when there is none. This is a very old feature/bug in the
pckbd driver. I think it should be fixed, but it's not related to the
USB code
at all. On my USB-only machine I've removed the pckbd driver from the
kernel config file.
