This can be fixed quite easily if you know how:

Only the two swapped keys remain. Setkeycodes didn't work, I think
it's because the keycodes I'm trying to use are already registered to
something else, so I just created a custom keymap which swapped the
two keycodes, 41 and 86, and now everything works fine. Wandering
through the gentoo forums I found out that aluminium keyboards aren't
properly detected until 2.6.25rc2, the strange thing is I had the
keyboard working before... I'll see when 2.6.25 is released.
