Contacted Tom, hope he confirms. As I own similar hardware (AMD-based
DELL notebook of the same architecture, Inspiron 1501), still running
ubuntu fine (up to 18.10 now) with the above mentioned workaround.
Actually similar bug raised by me is closed on redhat side
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454131 . As the hardware is
quite old (more than 12 years old!) no-one will bother to reproduce or
fix it, hence the only way forward is just to close it.
Here is my System Information
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: Inspiron 1501

UUID: 44454C4C-5A00-1058-8035-C2C04F38334A

Title:
[Dell Latitude 131L] keyboard not recognized properly; logs fill up
with messages
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
hi
Running Ubuntu Lucid amd64 on a Dell Latitude 131L (AMD chips),
updated twice a day at the moment.
Linux seems not to recognize the keyboard in my laptop well. Starting early
in the boot process (well before X kicks in) I see error messages on the
screen. The same messages then swamp the logs. A sample:
=============
[19667.508573] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19667.508580] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[19668.588701] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19668.588712] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[19668.600223] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19668.600230] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[19669.717801] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19669.717811] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[19669.729365] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19669.729373] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[19670.825302] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19670.825313] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
[19670.835700] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8d on
isa0060/serio0).
[19670.835707] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
=============
This goes on every second until shut down.
It's been there for a while now, but I haven't made -or found- a bug report
about it yet. I did some googling and it seems related to not-so-standard
handling of hotkeys (which you would find on a laptop) by the bios. However, I
have not found a solution.
It is possible to 'shut up' the messages by assigning e00d to an unused
keycode, but that is just hiding the symptom. Also that kills the screen saver
/ blackout and it breaks my repeating keys, so not an option really.
WORKAROUND: - shutdown the pc
- Remove both battery and AC
- push the 'on' switch several times
- Plug the battery and AC back in
