Hmm I could track down the issue to one of the following packages:

hal
acpid
xserver-xorg{-input-*,-video-*}

What I have done now:

* Starting in rescue mode (console works)
* Setting up some services (hal etc)
* On setting up acpid with the init script it reports again that it 
fails to open the input layer
* Starting kdm => nether keyboard or touchpad works
* Hard reset
* Again the first steps
* Now I manualy started acpid by just typing "acpid" after 
/etc/init.d/acpid start
* Starting kdm
* Keyboard works, but touchpad still not

Now I am able to switch back to my vt and look for logs etc.. But hmpf, 
there is nothing interesting stored..
