Hmm. Did linux used to work with this laptop without this happening,
or is this the first time linux is on it?
Are you using software suspend/resume ?
kernel args that might be worth a shot (shot in the dark on my part, but
still):
i8042.dumbkbd
i8042.panicblink=0
i8042.reset
i8042.nopnp
atkbd.reset=1
(Have you tried the old laptop favorite kernel args "acpi=off noapic" ?)
