Package: installation-reports

Summary:
Installer is basically ok, but Etch is not at all installable with current RC-2 installer image on systems with HIL keyboards.

Comments/Problems:
The installer itself seems OK, but the keyboard does not work at all.
Main problem is, that the keyboard on this machine is a HIL device (similiar to USB, but much "older").
The boot-kernel (2.6.18) does not detect this keyboard on the HIL bus.
It seems the needed .config values are not set when it was built.
To solve this problem, the boot kernel needs the "CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD=y" option set.
Additionally, all other "HIL" options should be disabled (see below).
With those options, the HIL keyboard should work. HIL-Mouse will not be available, but it's not needed either for the installation process.
In general, all newer HIL drivers do not work at all, so defaulting back to the old driver should be ok.

Proposed .config options for Debian Etch Linux boot kernel:

#
# Input Device Drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_LKKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_STOWAWAY is not set
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD=y
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_VSXXXAA is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_HIL is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_MISC is not set

#
# Hardware I/O ports
