There is a line in your menu.lst: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=aee7eebe-02ba-428a- b90b-afa9aed6dbcd ro quiet splash
Change it to: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=aee7eebe-02ba-428a- b90b-afa9aed6dbcd ro quiet splash i8042,imax=1 That did it for me. I see you have a line defoptions=i8042.nomux=1 which from my limited knowledge doesn't do any good, so might as well remove it. A line exactly like this, character for character including the #, # defoptions=quiet splash i8042,nomux=1 is only used by the program update-grub as follows entered as a command line in terminal: sudo update-grub So if you do not do sudo update-grub adding i8042,nomux=1 to the defoptions line it is of no use. The: # defoptions... is only used by the update-grub program which is only run when you issue it or else a new install is done. Now changing your kernel line as in the beginning of this post should do it as it is without having to issue: sudo update-grub. Do note that some updates or an install of course replace the kernel and change menu.lst, so if a kernel update should be done, you'd need to update menu.lst on the new kernel line.....
