I saw the problem reported in LKML some weeks ago, but no related kernel patches so far. I also have the same problem on a number of boxes. I messed with kbdrate, but that didn't alleviate the problem.
Any recollection how many weeks? I've not had any luck so far searching for discussion in the lkml archive. Too many addresses and trap screens full of 00000000 strings.
Very occasionally happens on my laptops and quite often on the desktop boxes. 24-31 March, 15 posts, no resoltion or further posts.

OK, thanks. I found that thread on http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/29/96 where it's rather longer, but no more help. It doesn't indicate if particular keys are involved, or if it's only zeros, which is all I see. Do any other keys happen for you? What CPUs, CPU speeds, & chipsets do you see it with, and what kernel were you using when if first happened?
As it has been only a minor nuisance, I haven't paid close attention to it. It's never happened with zeros, it's always has been a letter and not the same one either. I can only remember "lllll" from the last time it happened. Laptop CPU 64x2 Mobile Tl-58 1.9Ghz (ATI chipset), laptop Athlon XP3000+ Mobile (VIA VT82xxxx chipset) and 2 boxes with 64x2 6400 - NVidia MCP55 chipsets. I think it was with 2.6.25-rc?, not exactly sure which -rc or -rc-git. Almost certainly happens during software compiling. When next it happens, I shall dig a bit deeper. I have just been trying powersave to see if I could induce a failure at full speed. Getting a hal error, don't know how long it's been around. I shall check bugs to see if it's known and open one if it isn't. Currently the laptops are running at 800Mhz and the desktops at 1000 Mhz. # powersave -A liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files Could not set CPUFreq policy to dynamic. barrabas:/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-rc8-git4 # rpm -q hal hal-0.5.10_git20080319-4 # rpm -q hal hal-0.5.10_git20080319-7 tindog:/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-rc8-git4 # powersave -A liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: Method "SetCPUFreqGovernor" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" doesn't exist liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: Method "SetCPUFreqGovernor" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" doesn't exist Could not set CPUFreq policy to dynamic. sepulot:~ # rpm -q hal hal-0.5.10_git20080319-6 sepulot:~ # powersave -A liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: Method "SetCPUFreqGovernor" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" doesn't exist liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: Method "SetCPUFreqGovernor" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" doesn't exist Could not set CPUFreq policy to dynamic. bumble:~ # rpm -q hal hal-0.5.10_git20080319-6 bumble:~ # powersave -f liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files Could not set CPUFreq policy to performance. hal-0.5.10_git20080319-6 Boycie:~ # powersave -f liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:97): Received error reply: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files Could not set CPUFreq policy to performance.
