I checked the code in sys/i386/i386/vm_machdep.c for any changes in this
area between 2.1R and 2.1-stable and don't see anything here that should
have effected this.

I suspect your 2.1R kernel was compiles with ``BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET''
and you forgot to include that option when you built your 2.1-Stable
kernel.

In anycase, add the option to your kernel config file, config and rebuild
your kernel should solve your problem.
