I too have that problem on 2.6.10-0.1.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma on a standard P4. 
I tried the acpi=off setting but it froze during boot (which I find very 
strange)

However all of the 2.6.10 kernels I have tried from devel have given
the "i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042" error during
the boot process and the keyboard doesn't work.

Booting with acpi=off solves the problem but given that this is a
laptop (Dell Inspiron 5150) this seems less than ideal.

Any ideas?</pre>
