Comment 17 for bug 344698

Changes in linux kernel 2.6.30 (right now a rc3):

      Input: i8042 - introduce a tougher reset
      Input: i8042 - add a DMI table for the i8042.reset option
      Input: remove unnecessary synchronize_rcu() call

So i guess it's gonna be ok when this kernel hits the repos... I've tried to reproduce this bug in some other distro's, Fedora 11 beta has the same problem but Arch linux runs just fine. They all run the same kernel version 2.6.28 > the only difference is that ubuntu and fedora uses mkinitramfs and arch mkinitcpio, maybe it's time for ubuntu to upgrade to mkinitcpio...
