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.
