Hello

Is it possible to switch off PS/2 keyboard support in 2.4.25 make menuconfig?
I have searched through the make menuconfig and didn't find anything looking
like that.

No. At least, not really. Of course, you'd f*ck up the interrupt handler
to not really handle the interrupt or to not deliver the fetched data...

Easily, if you enable CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Just look into the Kconfig files
to see the dependancies.

AT Keyboard is the same as a PS/2 Keyboard from the OS point of view,
but because neither is an USB keyboard, I think you knew the answers
already.
