I just did some further testing, the problem here is exactly the same as Davids. And thinking about the exact point of failure and that Davids reboot problem is related to the keyboard being attached or not I realized what causes the problems for me:
I have a keyboard attached to the PS/2 port, but my mouse is attached to USB. So I pluged in a PS/2 mouse, and guess what? The box rebooted!
Well, this is by no means a solution, but I think it's pretty clear now, what exactly causes the trouble. Now we have to find out, why the i8042 code in 2.6.x breaks things on sertain hardware when there are not devices present in all ports, while in 2.4.x everything went well...
