Bug#296735: installation-reports: [sparc] unusable menus in d-i on Sun Blade 1500

1. What happens if you add a debconf/framebuffer=false boot argument? Does
it affect the problem in any way?

That seemed to make no difference, but today I tried daily-20050302
image and the keyboard was usable again. So that problem seems to be
partly solved.

Sorry for the mistake, the correct boot option to disable the framebuffer should be

debian-installer/framebuffer=false

Could you please try booting with it? I would be very surprised if it would not help. We do not currently enable device-specific support for Radeon framebuffer and it probably just uses some generic driver, which is not doing a very good job... The changes enabling it are about to be committed, but it will take a while for them to propagate to the d-i images.

Thanks and best regards,
