from the above I'd hazard a guess (though i'd place money on it this is
so common) and say you have CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y set when you built
your kernel, boot of the CD, remount your hd, set it to =n, rebuild and
install the new kernel and you should be right.
 
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES is under "Macintosh device drivers" in the kernel
config.
