Just a workaround. Do you have a PS/2 mouse you could test with? If so could you check if both keybioard and mouse work with mouse plugged in and without i8042.noaux.
Also cxould you please try the patch below (again with mouse if you have one and without).
Thanks a lot!

Input: i8042 - give more trust PNP data on i386
On some boxes that don't have PS/2 mice connected at startup BIOS completely disables AUX port and attempts to access it result in hosed keyboard. Historically we do not trust ACPI/PNP data on i386 and try to poke AUX port even if we did not find an active PNP node for it. However in cases when BIOS writers got KBD port properly described we can assume that they did the right thing for AUX port as well.
