This problem is not specifically related to the Logitech one. There are
several cases related to this bug (ie for instance
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/11/27/153 )
Your | key should be the same as the "*" key on french keyboards.
I submitted a bug report dealing with the details of this problem, but
still no answer yet.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1637
The patch provided by Tonnerre Anklin should work (I wouldn't have
changed the two values, just 84 -> 43) but it may break some other
keyboards. This is one question asked in the bug report.
And the other is : why did it work with 2.4.x kernels ?
Thank you to Cc me for any answer ...

While booting 2.6.0-t11 into textmode I found out there are still some
problems with the keyboard code.
On my laptop with PS/2 keyboard (Japanese layout) I can't use the key
with the Yen on it (which also has the pipe). All other keys seem to
work OK.
On my PC with USB keyboard (Logitech iTouch) I can't use the "\" key
properly so I can't type "ps -ef | grep blabla" which is not very
helpful is you want to try to investigate problems.
So there seems to be some kind of anti-pipe conspiracy here...;-)
