Comments/Problems:
I am attempting to install Debian Sarge on a SUN Blade 100. I got a ISO
image for sparc using jigdo.
The kernel seems to load correctly, but when I get to the first
installation screen "Please choose your language" the keyboard is
completely frozen. The keyboard connected to the machine is the default
SUN usb keyboard. I notice during the kernel boot that the usbkbd module
is loaded.
I found other bug reports linked to the usb keyboard on the Blade
series. However, no solution suggested in those reports will unlock the
keyboard on my machine. One solution suggested hitting the ESC key twice
to go back a level in the install procedure. This has no effect for me.
I would greatly appreciate any help that could be provided.
Daniel
