Problems with kernel 2.4.20 on Amiga



Hello,

I downloaded kernel-image-2.4.20-amiga_2.4.20-1_m68k.deb from
http://people.debian.org/~cts and installed it on my Amiga 2000 (030/882,
25 MHz, 13 MB RAM). I encountered the following problems:

* About every third key I press gets repeated about 100 times and I get
  lots of messages saying "amikeyb: keyboard lost sync" and "amikeyb:
  unknown keyboard communication code 0xff". The keyboard has a
  qwerty-layout and red A's on the Amiga-keys. It worked fine with
  all previous kernels I used (up to 2.2.25). Also, when I connect my
  A3000-keyboard to the A2000 there are no problems. Does anybody know which
  changes between 2.2.25 and 2.4.20 could have caused this?

* The kernel ignores the video-setting on the commandline. The following
  worked with 2.2.19:

  amiboot-5.6 -k vmlinuz-2.2.19 root=/dev/sda2 \
	video=amifb:euro72,depth:1,font:PEARL8x8

  Using the same with vmlinuz-2.4.20 I get a PAL screen with more than
  2 colors. Has the syntax for the video-setting changed or is this a bug in
  the kernel?

* I can't find the driver for the Multiface III serial ports.
  config-2.4.20 contains the line

  CONFIG_MULTIFACE_III_TTY=m

  but I can't find the corresponding module. Was it renamed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

Rolf
