Your login script may be doing that.  Try setting TERM=xterm or
whatever by hand.

Probably due to the TERM mismatch.

That's just plain weird.

What type of keyboard are you using?  USB?

Is the keyboard showing up on /dev/input/event*?  What does dmesg say
when you plug in the keyboard?

I had some trouble early on with /dev/input; it turned out to be
related to the app that I was using failing to properly understand the
keyboard.  Nothing to do with the kernel.
