It still doesn't make sense when the user only pressed a single key, or in some cases, never pressed *any* key (don't have that report to hand, but it was a laptop keyboard) > Also I don't understand what people have against this message, it's at > KERN_DEBUG level after all. When you're on the recieving end of distro kernel bug reports, it becomes clearer :) Users read dmesg from time to time, and freak out when they see something like this that looks like an error that they can't do anything about. Until I silenced these in the Fedora kernel I was getting quite a few reports from concerned users.
