reassign linux-kernel-di-sparc-2.6
severity serious
thanks

This bug is caused by the lack of usbhid/hid modules in the installer. 
It worked for lenny because in lenny these modules were compiled into 
the kernel:

ju...@droopy:~$ grep CONFIG_HID config-2.6.26-2-sparc64-smp 
CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_HID=y
# CONFIG_HID_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_HIDRAW=y
CONFIG_HID_FF=y
CONFIG_HID_PID=y
ju...@droopy:~$ grep CONFIG_USB_HID config-2.6.26-2-sparc64-smp 
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
# CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT_POWERBOOK is not set
# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set

However the current image used by the installer has:

ju...@droopy:~$ grep CONFIG_HID config-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp 
CONFIG_HID_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_HID=m
CONFIG_HIDRAW=y
CONFIG_HID_PID=y
CONFIG_HID_A4TECH=m
[...]
ju...@droopy:~$ grep CONFIG_USB_HID config-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp 
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y

We need to add input-modules on sparc, which should pull in usbhid 
(and, hopefully, the modules it depends on). Otherwise any install 
using USB keyboard will not work.

Best regards,
