I had this exact problem, Bug#275627 but I don't have access to that machine any more. To progress, we need a listing of the PCI devices, in particular the USB host controller device. Can you try downloading and booting a gentoo live cd - http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml?part=1&chap=2 this should be enough to run (lspci; lspci -n) |sort >lspci.sb100.txt and scp the resulting file to some other host. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
