after a deep check i have found a new clues for correct it. first the
problem is into the kernel and seems that when i press backspace key
it generate a press event and a release, but after arrive two unknown
 signals and another space key pressed without release. in some cases
i have see other unknown signal when i press a letter or other keys...
but it appened in very few times.
below the test with showkey program: 

[root@fcath64 root]# showkey
kb mode was UNICODE
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
keycode  28 release
keycode  46 press
keycode  46 release
keycode  14 press
keycode  14 release
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe1 on
isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e061 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x65 on
isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 65 <keycode>' to make it known.
keycode  57 press
keycode  57 press
keycode  57 release
