[fedora-virt] i8042.c: No controller found

Hi all,
I'm doing some kernel development, using a virtual machine to manage
the frequent reboots. The host is an 8-core x86_64 Fedora 10 machine
with 8GB of RAM. The guest is a 2-core x86_64 CentOS 5.3 machine with
1GB of RAM. I'm starting the virtual machine as follows:
qemu-kvm -m 1G -smp 2 -k en-us -std-vga -name CentOS5.3 -hda
/var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS5.3.img "$@"
Approximately every other reboot, when the CentOS kernel is just
starting up, I see this message on the console:
i8042.c: No controller found
and then, when the machine is fully booted, I cannot use the mouse or
keyboard in the guest machine, leaving me with only one option: reboot
and hope it doesn't happen the next time. Usually one more reboot
fixes it, but not always. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Just in case the "-k en-us" has something to do with it, I added that
because otherwise the arrow keys don't work correctly. Up arrow gets
mapped to PrtScn, for example.
As an aside, I used to use virt-manager, but couldn't figure out how
to get virt-manager to turn on -std-vga. If someone can solve that
problem for me, I'll go back to virt-manager.
Thanks,
