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.

A keyboard should work fine, (in any recent 2.5 Linux kernel), plugged
in to the AUX port, and it should identify it as a keyboard. I've
tested this, and it worked fine for me.
