I would swap this keyboard with another machine and see if the problem
follows the keyboard. I wouldn't want to spend a lit of time chasing a
software problem if it was just a flaky keyboard card that was slow to
wake up.
I know IBM had that problem with some of their Eduquest keyboards. It
would hang on POST every once in a while. Do the lights seem to
sequence normally on the boot?
