Bug#278215: USB keyboard not working on SunBlade 150



Hi,

Thank you for your quick answer !

I tested this new image and the keyboard works now !
One little remaining problem:
After I choosed language and country, the installer asks me to choose a keyboard layout but there is no layout for usb keyboard displayed I tested both "United States (sunkeymap) and "French (sunt5-fr-latin1), the keyboard doesn't behave correctly after this screen.

To be able to select the good keyboard layout, I have to get back, then select "Choose the keyboard layout" and now I can choose the kind of keyboard between:
"Sun Keyboard"
"PC-style"
"USB keyboard"

I choose "USB Keyboard" and now I have usb keyboard layout displayed, I can choose "French (mac-usb-fr)" and it works.


My new problem now (should I open a new bug ?) is that the network card isn't recognized, lspci gives: 0000:00:0c.1 Ethernet controller: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. RIO GEM (rev 01)

I think I should load the sungem module but it isn't available in the list.

Cheers,

Yann

I confirm this installation problem with SunBlade 150.
I had successfully used the debian installer 4 or 5 months ago, but last version doesn't seem to recognize the usb keyboard.

I tried to boot with "linux console-tools/arch="USB keyboard"
but it didn't help.

I can try to help debug this problem if someone gives me some hints on how to do it.


I've created a new image set that contains all available usb modules on
the initrd. This will only work for sparc64; sparc32 has no additional
usb modules. http://kitenet.net/~joey/tmp/sunblade/2/ Give it a try and
let us know.
