I have installed modutils 2.4.2. first where did you get the 2.4.1 source? the mainline 2.4 tree on ftp.kernel.org is totally broken on powerpc. you will for now have to use the forked rsync trees which you can find on http://penguinppc.org 2.4.2pre2 is closer but still broken on powerpc. maybe 2.4.5... > I can edit the files and add a line > #define CONFIG_ADB_KEYBOARD > in drivers/input/keybdev.c (which seems to be a logical 'hack'). i don't think this is the right solution... > But examining arch/ppc/kernel/pmac_setup.c, I can not solve the errors that easily, so > I comment the lines out and give equations the value 0. > > This makes the kernel compile succesfully, but after I booted up, the keyboard > (suprise!) does not work. i had this problem when upgrading to 2.2.18 which has the new input layer. the problem is you need to enable the right combination of the new event layer, input layer and HID layer. on 2.2 you also need to disable the old adb drivers, save the config, and re make config|menuconfig to find the new adb drivers to show up. (the kernel config system is crap) you must enable the new adb hid drivers for both mouse and keyboard or you get unresolved symbols. > I have not found any patch for this. Is this a bug and should I submit it (and to > where: to Debian?), or is this due to my own clumsyness and ignorance? i think your kernel config is still messed up. on powerpc the config depenencies are not setup right so its possible to configure your kernel in such a way that it does not compile. 2.4 is also rather a mess on powerpc. recheck your .config and if you still don't get it going send it to debian-powerpc. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
