I wonder if the following threads answer your question?

Basically you need to define CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y in linux/ 
kernel-2.6.11-v2/l4linux_config_ia32_vga.

I would recommend sticking to the ia32_pc99 and ia32_pc99_vga targets  
for now.  gta01 and gumstix are also working well and stable in the  
1.5 release.
