Sorry should have being clearer, like this:

'if ! modprobe -q uinput; then
sleep 5'

I changed it to:

'if ! modprobe -q uinput; sleep 5; then'

With the above it does start at boot now:

'Starting ACPI services ....
Starting acpi_fakekey daemon...Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd.'

But now I get a different message:

'failed (Modprobe uinput failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why).
[...] input: ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device as /devices/virtual/input/input8'

But lsmod shows:

'uinput    4796  1'

dmesg is attached, tho I don't see anything wrong.

I currently have the latest 0.136-4. I tried with 0.136-[1-3] of:
acpi-support[-base] and acpi-fakekey, like you suggested.

Also tried with other kernels: 2.6.32-3 and 2.6.32-5[2.6.32-13]. And still
the same.

kacpimon[using versions 0.136-[1-4] of each: acpi-support, acpi-support-base
and acpi-fakekey,
also with the kernels above:
