[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed kernel-default-3.0.4-43.1.x86_64 panics unless I use boot option i8042.noaux

I have a nettop (asrock s330) running openSUSE 11.4. When it boots on my console I get: i8042: Failed to disable AUX port, but continuing anyway... Is this a SiS? i8042: If AUX port is really absent please use the 'i8042.noaux' option and then panics. I have attached a picture of the call trace. This started when I switched from 2.x to 3.x kernels. Regards, Dimitris
