Well, a little google searching and I found the following link: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/release-notes/ch-information.en.html In the spirit that this may be useful to someone else, here is the relevent portion: 5.2.1 Keyboard configuration The most invasive change in the 2.6 kernels is a fundamental change of the input layer. This change makes all keyboards look like "normal" PC keyboards. This means that if you currently have a different type of keyboard selected (e.g. a USB-MAC or Sun keyboard), you will very likely end up with a non-working keyboard after rebooting with the new 2.6 kernel. If you can SSH into the box from another system, you can resolve this issue by running dpkg-reconfigure console-data, choosing the option "Select keymap from full list" and selecting a "pc" keyboard. If your console keyboard is affected, you will probably also need to reconfigure your keyboard for the X Window System. You can do this either by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 or by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 directly. Don't forget to read the documentation referred to in Things to do before rebooting, Section 4.6. Note that if you are using a USB keyboard, this may be configured as either a "normal" PC keyboard or as a USB-MAC keyboard. In the first case you will not be affected by this issue. So, now I am running 2.6.x kernel with a working console. Still no working xorg... yet... Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
