Strange i8042 error messages

I get the following strange i8042 error messages appearing whenever I suspend my machine:

i8042: Can't reactivate KBD port
PM: Device i8042 failed to resume: error -19

However, the system seems to work fine. A google search suggested adding the kernel parameters: i8042.reset and i8042.nomux to my kernel boot line, which I have done, but this did not work.

System is an Intel ATOM 330 AsRock motherboard with a Logitech MK300 wireless mouse and keyboad combo.

Any ideas appreciated.

Re: Strange i8042 error messages

I'd say you can just ignore it. i8042 is a builtin (rather than a module) which is part of PS/2 keyboard support.
