[ale] Flaky Keyboard

[Dow Hurst]

It is called ACPI....

Seriously though, if this is a laptop then modprobe -r the battery 
module.  See if there are messages being logged about hardware being 
constantly watched such as an ethernet interface with no physical cable 
connected.  Also, check and see if you are logging serial I/O bus 
message errors in /var/log/messages.  This type of checking might help 
you out.
