kdb without a keyboard controller

I'm attempting to get kdb running on a PC Engines WRAP platform (x86 board 
for embedded work), which doesn't have a keyboard controller.  We are 
running a 2.4.25 kernel because one of our drivers hasn't been ported to 2.6 
yet.  When I try and drop into kdb, it displays:
Entering kdb (current=0xc02a0000, pid 0) due to Keyboard Entry
and then hangs

I can only assume that this is due to the lack of the keyboard controller 
since the same kernel works fine on a Soekris 4801, which is essentially the 
same board and processor but has a built-in keyboard controller.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,
Hampton
