its this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/334249

the solution for me and most other people was to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
my working entry looks like this:

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-12-generic
uuid d655bf5b-3061-44bb-a9d8-2d6d9b4afc57
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-12-generic root=UUID=d655bf5b 3061-44bb-a9d8-2d6d9b4afc57 ro quiet splash i8042.reset
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-12-generic
quiet


the key part is i8042.reset at the end of the kernel line for whatever kernel you are using.
