[K12OSN] Super fast repeating keys on keyboard.

[Gentgeen]

Look in the recent history (Feb. and now) for past posts by me. (Sorry
don't have time now to look it up myself, nor do I remember exactly what
I did)  I had the same issue.  It ended up being a power management
issue.  I ended up having to turn some things off in the BIOS of the
client and pass the kernel some parameters in the pxe boot file.

# This is for aptiva (192.168.74.2)
DEFAULT linux
TIMEOUT 1
PROMPT 0
label linux
  kernel bzImage-2.6.17.3-ltsp-1
   append initrd=initramfs.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw boot=nfs apm=off
acpi=off
