It may take a few days as I'm going to be away from the hardware but I'll have a look into the driver and see if I can see any way for that keyboard failure to happen. Is the behaviour consistent? does the same key always give the same pair of characters?

Yes, always consistent.

I did find a couple of possible start of day quirks where we could potentially take an interrupt before the code was really ready. I've also added code that drains the keyboard input before we attach (the pckbc code does this and it seems reasonable given that the code is taking over control from another OS). Not sure if this will help you out or if we need to do more things to ensure the keyboard controller is in a sane state when we take over from RISC OS.

The patch doesn't seem to help. I did try bypassing the RISC OS boot sequence just in case I had some odd module loaded that did something strange.
