Hello,
I downloaded kernel-image-2.4.20-amiga_2.4.20-1_m68k.deb from
http://people.debian.org/~cts and installed it on my Amiga 2000 (030/882,
25 MHz, 13 MB RAM). I encountered the following problems:
* About every third key I press gets repeated about 100 times and I get
lots of messages saying "amikeyb: keyboard lost sync" and "amikeyb:
unknown keyboard communication code 0xff". The keyboard has a
qwerty-layout and red A's on the Amiga-keys. It worked fine with
all previous kernels I used (up to 2.2.25). Also, when I connect my
A3000-keyboard to the A2000 there are no problems. Does anybody know which
changes between 2.2.25 and 2.4.20 could have caused this?
* The kernel ignores the video-setting on the commandline. The following
worked with 2.2.19:
amiboot-5.6 -k vmlinuz-2.2.19 root=/dev/sda2 \
video=amifb:euro72,depth:1,font:PEARL8x8
Using the same with vmlinuz-2.4.20 I get a PAL screen with more than
2 colors. Has the syntax for the video-setting changed or is this a bug in
the kernel?
* I can't find the driver for the Multiface III serial ports.
config-2.4.20 contains the line
CONFIG_MULTIFACE_III_TTY=m
but I can't find the corresponding module. Was it renamed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Greetings,
Rolf
