CentOS x64 crashed

[sudoyang at gmail.com (Fong Vang)]

I just installed CentOS 4.2 x64 bit version.  After installaton, the
system boots but kernel panics with this message:

Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c:992

The kernel seems to load completely.  It gets passed the point where
it prompts to press "I" for interactive mode.  Something after that
probably caused a module to load that crashed the kernel.

Any idea what to do to get around this?

Thanks for any help.
