With 2.6.25-rc6-git-something I have experienced stuck keys. When typing a sentence a character repeats aboooooooout 10 times, or as 'about' above ;). I tested with a new kernel today, 2.6.25-rc7-git-something and the problem is still present.

With 2.6.25-rc3 the keyboard is fine, and I've not tried with any kernel in between.

As a side note, timestamps gets mixed up in dmesg output in a 1-2 second span. Maybe related?

This is on a HP dv2140eu laptop, x86_64 SMP. Please cc me if you want configuration details or testing to be done.


I should add that while watching a movie I noticed that video stutters every now and then, on an irregular basis. It lasts for approx a second each time.

Update

I've been trying to reproduce this bug all morning, and could not reproduce it without firefox running. I then saw with dmesg that the flash plugin had crashed:

[ 2170.872049] npviewer.bin[9053]: segfault at 0 ip f6dc9348 sp ffd3e788 error 4 in libflashplayer.so[f6d2c000+66b000]

This would explain why it can take several days between me experiencing the bug, but it doesn't explain the mixed up timestamps in kern.log

Even if flash/npviewer is at fault, IMHO it shouldn't cause microlockups that I experience
