Help!::Keyboard not detected


My machine is installed with Lineox nash version 4. It does not detect keyboard while booting. It shows a message like this:

'i8042.c:Can't read CTR while initializing 8042'

This message comes when no key in the keyboard is pressed. During the initial stages of the booting process,when i press any one key continuously, this message is not displayed and the keyboard is detected correctly.
Is this any problem with my keyboard?

Wild guess, but check if Plug and Play OS is set (in BIOS) to yes or no, should probably be no.
