FYI, there are two keyboard related problems with these Compaq/HP (Compal OEM) laptops. The hint flag fixes infamous 'shutdown while probing keyboard' problem. The second problem is resource conflict when ACPI is enabled. The symptom is atkbd probe failure. This problem can be fixed via ASL patch. This can be done via network or with a USB keyboard.
