laptop w/ external keyboard misprint FYI
Kernel 2.5.73, first time I've used an external keyboard
When I plug my external Logitech keyboard into my laptop, (shared keyboard/mouse port), dmesg output indicates a generic mouse was attached instead of a keyboard. The keyboard works, it's just the dmesg info that's inaccurate.
Keyboard plugged in:
input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1
Mouse plugged in:
input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse on isa0060/serio1

Well, you have plugged keyboard into
*mouse* port. Its small miracle it works ;), and
it probably will not work in LILO. You
should use Y cabel and plug keyboard there.

Honestly, I don't think this is possible. If your keyboard is detected as a mouse, it cannot work a a keyboard. Though maybe your keyboard/mouse controller BIOS may be playing tricks on us.
