I had this problem too a while back, I fixed it for myself at the time by removing the flags 0x1 from the atkbd0 entry in the kernel config file, this can also be done via boot -c and similar, I then managed to fix it in the long term by playing with some options in my BIOS, it seemed to be related to USB keyboards for some reason (despite me not using them) -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org "Why do I get this urge to go bowling everytime I see Tux?"
