I have experienced the same problem since I applied patchkit 0.2.4.
I have no problem until 0.2.3. My machine is Gateway2000 66V with the
AnyKey keyborad, too. I know another Gateway has the same problem.

The current workaround is to start typing the Num-lock key during fsck,
and continue to type it untli the Num-lock LED is lit.
