Not a silo problem, right? Not sure about this one. I never tried it as a
module. Does it fail to see the device, or detects it and then fails
elsewhere (like disk detection)?

I'll look into this. I have no sparc32 machine, so I don't have any way to
test though.

Sounds like something needs to make sure that on sparc, we don't touch the
keymap by default.
In 2.6 kernels, the sparc keymap is just the same as i386, where as in 2.4
the typeX keymaps can be used (although default kernel keymap works just
fine).
Again, not a silo problem, right?

What issues? I have a Blade that uses USB and it seems to work fine. Note
that with USB keyboards, there's no way to drop back to OBP like with a
normal Sun keyboard. It's an issue that Dave hasn't been able to resolve
yet. Something about switching the USB keyboard back to OBP.
