keyboard disconnects with kernel 2.6.24-r4

keyboard disconnects with kernel 2.6.24-r4

[eial]

hello, I own a DV9000z, running gentoo and kernel 2.6.24-r3 on it, I'm not using r4 because while working with the computer, after a while, my keyboard disconnects. trying to shutdown the computer causes in system freeze.
this do not happens in r3, the difference that I saw between r3 and r4 is that in r3 my inputs are labeled /class/input/input4 while in r4 they are labeled /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input4.
how can I fix it?

thanks.

What are "r3" and "r4"? Do you mean -rc3 and -rc4? If so, please try to 
reproduce with recent kernel first (we are now past 2.6.25-rc8), and 
report back in case the problem still persists.

r3 and r4 are rc3 and rc4, currently, the stable version is rc4, I try to stay with the current stable version inorder to reduce bugs
cause I'm studying and dont have much free time on hand, can I disable this issue in rc4?

2.6.24-r3 and 2.6.24-r4 are NOT 2.6.24-rc3 and 2.6.24-rc4
2.6.24-r3 is 2.6.24.1 + some patches and
2.6.24-r4 is 2.6.24.4 + some patches

I doubt that chaged sysfs lauout causes your issue. When your keyboard
"disconnects" do you see its leds blinking?
