Package: rootskel Version: 1.69 Severity: important Hi rootskel maintainers :)
I've been trying to get debian-installer (lenny) working on a Sun LDOM (i.e., SPARC, sun4v). I'm having some trouble, though. When the installer boots, you get a mono console, and the arrow keys, tab, and enter don't do as expected (enter scrolls down the screen, tab does a tab, etc) rather than moving through the menu. I booted with BOOT_DEBUG=3 to pin down where this is happening. Looking at /etc/inittab, first, debian-installer-startup is run. I run this and the console still behaves normally. When I run the second script, debian-installer, the menu launches and my keyboard doesn't drive the menu any more. Theres some discussion on why this might be happening and methods I've tried on debian-boot (Frans Pop has been very helpful!), and it looks like it may be something to do with reopen-console. I'm not an expert on the console though, so there may be something I've missed. As the scripts are run via reopen-console then sourced (debian-installer being a wrapper round a bunch of sourced scripts), I'm unable to recreate the exact environment. If I don't use reopen-console and I run debian-installer from the shell on my own, it works as expected. I've raised this bug on Frans' recommendation, and the thread on debian-boot is here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2008/11/msg00013.html I'm happy to try out any recommendations you have on this kit while I still have it (its try-n-buy, its actually a Sun T6230 blade). Many thanks, Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
