[plug] Keyboard Problems

I've just upgraded from a 2.6.6 kernel to a 2.6.10 kernel.
Every now and then my keyboard does funny things that it didn't do before.
It appears to be switching capslock (or locking shift down) on even
though it's off and I can't turn it off. The only way I've found its to
"Ctrl Alt F1" and then "Shift Caps-Lock" and then hit caps lock a few
times until what I type corresponds to what the Caps LED says. Until I
do this I can't get back into X as the Capital of F7 isn't F7. Also it
sometimes 'locks' enter down until I "Ctrl-C"
I was thinking this may be a code page related thing.

Any other ideas?
