Thanks for this. I suspect the problem is related to bug #168602, with the kernel needing to be set to send linux keycodes (which procps.sh does on reboot, and the X server probably does on resetting the display). Can someone please confirm this by running,eg, this script: #!/bin/sh dpkg --install console-tools-0.2.4-24dbs /etc/init.d/procps.sh start If this works, I'd like to see exactly whats in procps.sh on a powerpc, so I can include it in the postinst scripts.
