(Get the code!)
The kerner parameter "i8042.nomux=1" fixed the problem on a fairly new Compaq laptop. It's an AMD Turion, 64-bit, so there's nothing "old" about any part of it. Yet it does have the i8042 bus, which can be found in the device manager. Adding the option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file (where it tells you to) and running update-grub fixed the problem very well, it hasn't happened since.
