Looking at i8042 code, I noticed that "Can't read CTR while initializing i8042" failure happens very early on initialization, so I expect the noloop/nopnp options to also not making any difference, and the only option which could change things was i8042.reset but it didn't as you tested.
Perhaps the extra debugging in the code could help, can you boot with option i8042.debug instead and attach here the dmesg output only when the keyboard and mouse fails? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/739118 Title: Dell Inspiron 2650 (bios A13): keyboard and touchpad fail randomly -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
