Oops, forgot to mention.  I can get proper clock/keyboard behavior every time
by adding the kernel parameter "clock=tsc" in the append line of lilo.conf.

description: 
AMD K6-2 450 with SiS 530 Chipset.  Did a truly minimal install of 2006 with 
only xdm and IceWM, setup remote sources to the /devel tree, ran urpmi 
--auto-select and manually installed latest kernel.  At that point, everything 
was working fine. 
 
Later installed a package (grip) which required hal and after rebooting, I 
couldn't log into xdm because it's almost impossible to type a single 
character.  For example trying to type "rick" in the Login field results in 
something like "rrriiiicccckkkkkk" no matter how quickly I tap the keys. 
 
Steps to reproduce: Install hal. 
After uninstalling hal, the problem goes away.  More info: 
 
uname -r 
2.6.12-17mdk-i586-up-1GB 
 
rpm -q hal 
hal-0.4.8-15.1.20060mdk 
 
dmesg | grep input 
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1 
 
lspci | grep ISA 
00:01.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] \ 
SiS85C503/5513 (LPC Bridge) (rev b3) 
 
This is a test-box so I'm willing to experiment.
