It was a while ago now,  but IIRC:

We had some problems with these machines until we re-enabled the
keyboard controller.

(They come with USB keyboards,  and the RAC simulates a USB controller,
but the atkbdc driver is involved in resetting the machine?)

This is from a January 07 build,  so doesn't include latest patches.
