Hi there,
at about every one out of ten boots, I am not able to log in, because the keyboard doesn't work. It always works in GRUB and the bios. It is connected via PS/2, the mouse is not connected to the other PS/2-port. The mouse is connected to the serial port, but that shouln't matter.
After some power-off-reboots with this issue, I've connected a USB-keyboard. This works in every case, even when the PS/2-keyboard doesn't work. With this workaround, I can do a clean reboot and use the main keyboard at the next login.
Here's my hardware:

What is the source of my problem and what can I do to fix it?

A bit of google-ing shows this up:
(and your logs look like you use these modules)

Thanks for your advice. Although the post concerns the 2.6.6 kernel I pulled the kernel sources via ABS, aborted the build process and took a look at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c. As suspected, the kernel evolution completley changed the file, the function del_timer_sync isn't even called from there.
So I enabled the "testing" repo and installed 2.6.25. I had some problems with the nvidia-module, so I switched to nv.
Within 15 reboots, the problem didn't occur a single time.
Thanks anyway, searching lkml seems to be a good idea in most cases.
