Is this normal?
1) Try booting with 'acpi=off'. It's broken for a number of systems (does precisely what you've described) and no official update is available as of yet. Alternatively, you can try to apply the most recent ACPI patch from [1].
2) Make sure you've enabled core input support and userland keyboard interface (CONFIG_INPUT, CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV).
