Kernel panic when repeating arrow key

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Set keyboard settings to fastest repeat rate and shortest wait time for 
repeat.
2.  Hold down arrow key (may be possible with other keys, these are the 
ones I experience it with regularly)
3.  Sometimes kernel panic occurs

What netbook are you using this on?
Lenovo S10e

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Move cursor in direction of arrow.  Instead, I get kernel panics almost 
daily, always when I have one of the arrow keys held down.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Most recent ApplePS2Controller.kext, whatever is included in 0.8.3RC3

Please provide any additional information below.
I check the console logs after every crash and there is never anything there, 
so I'm convinced the keyboard kext is causing it.

I noticed a similar problem when using my mini 10v. I didn't change any 
settings but
when using the arrow keys to scroll pages (particularly the down arrow) I have 
had a
few kernel panics.  I am also using 0.8.3RC3.

I have the same issue, on two separate genuine OS X / Apple machines, one brand 
new
out of the box.  Only common things between them that I can think of is they're 
both
snow leopard, they both were using the same Microsoft natural 4000 keyboard, 
and they
both had the logitech control center installed (for the same logitech mouse.)  
They
both also had repeat/delay set to shortest/fastest.  I do not think this is 
related
to netbook-installer, but damned if I can figure out what it IS related to.

I have the same problem with mini 10v 0.8.3. i've had problems when I used 
arrow keys mostly up and down. 
Both have caused so far,, not sure about left and right. 
It's kinda annoying,,, of course it doesn't happen when I use usb mouse,,

Yesterday, I had the same problem again with my mini 9(0.8.3). This time 
backspace caused the kernel panic. As 
far as I know, I do not have any issue with this kernel panic after I have 
setup 'key repeat rate' one level down 
from its maximum speed. I hope I won't see that screen again. A little annoying 
not being able to use the fastest 
key repeat rate, but better than having a kernel panic,,,

Oh, lol. I thought I wouldn't have any more kernel panic,,, Changing the key 
repeat rate ain't fix this problem :( I 
just saw another kernel panic.I shouldn't use the arrow keys anymore if I don't 
wanna see that screen again.

I'm also experiencing this problem.  I thought the KP's were random until I 
read this
thread.  Now i'm almost positive its occurring while scrolling via my arrow 
keys.

Console does not show anything useful upon reboot.  I've even tried reverting 
back to
DellEFI trackpad drivers without success, so its not the trackpad drivers for 
sure.

I can also say my Mini9 on 10.6.2 gets this. The feedback above seems to 
reflect the
same issue with the randomness/no useful debug. Otherwise, perfect stability. 
Doesn't
seem to change with the usual bt/usb bios setting either.

in case this helps anyone / isn't already obvious: i turned off the repeat and 
haven't had a KP since.  i do miss it, 
but it's far better than the frequent KP'ing.

I, too, just figured out the correlation between the KP's and holding down the 
down-arrow key to scroll (which 
I've been doing since the two-finger trackpad scroll is so jerky.)  I'm using a 
Mini 10v, running 10.6.3 and 0.8.4 
RC1.  I've only had it running for two days now, but have had twice as many 
KP's over that time period; doesn't 
do it *every* time, but often enough to be irritating.  FWIW, I'm usually 
running Adium and Safari when this 
occurs.  I'll try killing off the key repeat and see if that fixes it...that 
said, it's a feature that I use frequently, so 
hopefully this will be fixed (if indeed it's NBI problem and not an OS X 
problem).

Just an update...It's been over a week with the key repeat off, and no KP's 
since then.

I'm on a Lenovo S10 and am experiencing this every now and then as well.  The 
Kernel panic happens when scrolling with down-arrow key.

I have this same issue. I'm on a 10v. It happened in 10.6.4 and also now in 
10.6.5 as well. 
Has happened in Chrome when scrolling down using the arrow keys. 
If this got fixed my hackbook would be running perfectly! Any suggestions?

I have this too on 10.6.7 on a mini 10v.
