Maybe this is a BIOS setting which makes it so that the key
you are trying to use is used for a FN key like some laptops
have, or disabled for some reason.

Another issue could be that the keyboard isn't set up correctly
for the console.  A possible symptom for such a condition can be
that you can not switch with between X11 and a console.  In that
case, it is advisable to fix the keyboard setup for the console
first.

With Linux, setting a keyboard provides you with a lot of
inherent flexibility.
