Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-sparc64 Version: 2.6.11-5 Severity: normal I have this kernel running OK on a headless system, but it seems to be non-useful on the console. This is on a Blade 100 running OBP 4.15.7, in case that's relevant.
The console output is messed up. The first column is missing and a fraction of characters are duplicated/overprinted or replaced by non-ASCII ones. It looks rather as though there's an off-by-one error in assembling bits of a buffer. When I started X, the mouse didn't work -- no pointer appeared -- but there wasn't any obvious error in the server log. I tried unplugging the mouse with no effect. All was OK when I reverted to the stable kernel. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable') Architecture: sparc (sparc64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-sparc64 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages kernel-image-2.6.11-1-sparc64 depends on: ii initrd-tools 0.1.81.1 tools to create initrd image for p ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo kernel-image-2.6.11-1-sparc64 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
