Moritz, thanks for bringing this up again. I nearly forgot it! I just tried the netboot image dated 30-10-08 from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-hppa/current/images/netboot/2.6/. Currently the debian installer boots up nicely, but the keyboard is not functional at all (on machines with HIL keyboard). My tests with booting via serial console shows, that all what needs to be done to get those keyboards working now is, to run a "modprobe hilkbd" at startup. Is it possible that someone from the debian-installer teams add this "modprobe hilkbd" somewhere to the bootup process? This modprobe should also be carried over to the installed system afterwards. I'm willing to test any temporary images (preferably netboot images) as soon as possible. Helge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
