The behavior in the last install is as it should be and the 2.4.27-sparc64
kernel should install the 2.4.27-2-sparc64 kernel...
Without the logs of the original install, I'm afraid we won't be able to
track this down (unless you can reproduce this).

That may well be standard for an U5 with the 2.4 kernel. IIRC for my U10
PS/2 instead of ImPS/2 also works.

That should be solvable, but I'm afraid I don't know how. You could try
asking on the debian-sparc or debian-user mail lists.
