Touchpad and keyboard issues in Fedora 36

Hi, I am getting issues with my touchpad and keyboard. Whenever I start my computer, keyboard and touchpad doesn’t work. I had to connect an external keyboard and mouse for that. Also I am getting this error again and again…

I had installed fedora recently and have no experience of linux OS. Just exploring things. Can anyone help me out?

Can you look at:
journalctl -k | grep 'i2c\|i8042\|hid'

You could try reloading the driver;
sudo modprobe -r i2c_hid
sudo modprobe i2c_hid

You may also want to check that your bios is fully up to date

I think that touchpad and keyboard issue is fixed but I still got those driver error frequently.

Still getting the error.

Can you post the output of dmesg as preformated text ?
To get the output to a file
In a terminal
dmesg > filename.txt

You should be able to open that file up and copy and paste the output to here or to a pastebin if it is too large.

Alternatively you could install fpaste
sudo dnf install fpaste
and then pipe the command to it and paste the link here.
dmesg | fpaste

man fpaste can tell you more about it.
