Someone want to enlighten me on the issues affecting sarge?
Hi Ben,
A good place to start is the silo bug page in BTS. It currently has 5 open
release-critical bugs (one is the missing build-deps on sparc-utils, which
is really easy to fix). The other four, in my opinion, are the most
serious problems faced by sparc port currently. Unfortunately, they are
way over my head and I don't have access to any hardware with these bugs,
so your input on them would be most welcome. Others, off the top of my
head are:
* CMD646 and ALI IDE drivers not working as modules in 2.4.27 kernel. The
CMD646 has been compiled in to partially resolve the issue, but it would
be nice to figure out why it fails.
* 2.6 netboot images not working on sparc32. Looks like it is corrupting
initrd in the process of moving it to the ramdisk.
* Annoying recurring keymap problems on the console and in X.
* Issues with USB keyboards (might be the same problem as previous one,
might be something different).
