First oddity that I'm fighting is the attached keyboard is not mapped correctly
at boot under 2.6, though worked fine under 2.4.30 SMP. I've
tried switching KEYMAP in /etc/rc.conf to
KEYMAP="sunt5-us-cz"
but that does not help. I've tried compiling the sun keyboard as both a
module and integral to the kernel unsuccessfully. Note this is not
under X. Just simple kernel/console configuration. I am recompiling
xorg from scratch
under 2.6 in order to pick up any kernel anomalies there, but that will
take a couple of days to compile. When it is finished I can try it's keyboard setup
to see if it works better than straight console.
In 2.6, the kernel now interprets all keyboards from all architectures using x86 style keymaps. If you either change the KEYMAP type to "us" or command out the KEYMAP line, this should fix your problem.
Thanks. Set to "us" and that fixed it. Did I miss this in the gentoo sparc quick install doc or the handbook? If it isn't there I'll be glad to write up a couple of lines for insertion if that would be useful to help others as people migrate start migrating over to 2.6 series kernels.
Second oddity is that netdate is not working because its sending out bad
or missing CRC checksums in the UDP packets. I have most checksums,
etc. turned off in the kernel to minimize the kernel size. Do I need to
turn something
in particular on in the kernel in order to get the sparcstation 20 box to send
out properly checksummed UDPs?
This may be a bug. An issue like this came up recently in #gentoo-sparc on IRC and it wasn't conclusive what the problem was as it wasn't always able to be reproduced. The initial theory is that it has something to do with SBUS based network controllers (though only sunhme was actually tested) in the later 2.6 kernels.
Responding to another email on this, offering to test variations to help narrow down or start digging in the code.
