Fwd: Sun Ultra 25 / Debian 12 install/progress

[Ignacio Soriano Hernandez <bond6872@googlemail.com>]

Hi Adrian,

the Sun Ultra 25 was the last Sun desktop system they did, no more Sun propietary connectors just USB. And yes, I did try to connect and additional Lenovo USB kbd/mouse (additional as else the Sun warns with a power failure on the USB which it would use to output to the serial port).

Found the harness and will hopefully give it a try later this evening (via serial). Will keep you updated on how things move forward.

Cheers

Iggi

We don't really have a list of supported systems, just systems that are known to work.

It should be working. Did you try connecting a PS/2 keyboard?

Although USB should be working.

Good luck. Let me know if you run into any other issues.
