Silo works a little bit like grub, you don't have to reinstall > the boot sector every time you upgrade your kernel. Just to mention it, I've started a sparc64-ieee1275 grub 2 port. It's not usable yet, sadly, and I haven't worked on it for some time. For now I can just boot grub using netboot (it lacks a disk install system), "use" grub 2 (module loading, command line, ...) and cannot boot any OS (err... bootloader ? Ah, nevermind :) ).

I added support for SUN disklabel in grub2 (still in development) and I have been working on making it boot on my usparc IIi, but with little success. All I've been able to was getting the OF vector from registers, but I haven't been able to call any function that need args or return value, so all I was able to was to call "exit", which falls back to the OF prompt (everyone : wow, useful). I haven't worked on it for a few months because I wasn't able to find a doc that was correct & complete : the few I found were either explaining how to use OF prompt, or telling me the function vector was in a register that contained 0 on my box... If anyone knows how to make that work, with as few ASM as possible, I would be happy to again put my hands inside that code.

I had the same problem, and still have problems with my type5c keyboard. I suggest comment out your "Kbd*" options in XF86Config-4, it will then default to ~ x86 qwerty layout which will work, though without the sun special keys. I'm trying to create a whomle new keyboard for xkb, but I am stuck. It seems that kernel 2.6 doesn't handle sun keyboards well, or at least differently of 2.4 (I have to switch to kernel default keymap in console-data to have a working console). I have tested with 2.6.8 debian kernel, 2.6.10 (debian source ? I don't remember if there is one) and 2.6.11-rc2 from kernel.org. Here is how I proceed : I log on my sparc with ssh, edit the config files, and run : XFree86 & xev then I move the mouse on xev window, press keys on the sun keyboard and watch the results. The problem is that keys react differently sometimes. Once "help" returns one keystroke (221 iirc, 2 events for press & release), other time it will output 3 keystrokes (2 events for each). Sometimes "esc" will return 6, sometimes 5. "open" returns 335 iirc, which is obviously wrong. As I'm not used either to sun hardware nor to xkb, I'm affraid I can't help much more...

I just realised I sent this mail directly to the author and not to the

Try without the Xkb[...] options. The keyboard should surprisingly work,
without the sun special keys though ("help", the left key block, the top
right block with "power").
That may be worth a bugreport, but I don't know xkb enough to tell what
is wrong. (there is an error in X86 log when using sun keymaps and
xf86cfg refuses to select those maps - and moreover hangs on sun
framebuffers X drivers, for me).
I would be interested in any valid keymap for that kind of keyboard.

Re: OpenBoot callback function
Ben Collins wrote : I believe things are passed in an array. I think the reason it is in mostly asm is because silo is a 32-bit program, and the openboot commands are expected to be sent in a 64-bit array. So normal C calling conventions don't mix. Grub2 can be built as 64bits I think. And the less I use asm, the more easily it could be ported to other OpenFirmware (maybe OpenBot) platforms. Just copy the p1275 command stuff from silo. It's a simple and clean interface. Grub2 is a GNU project, so I can't copy-paste code - or, afaik, the original author would have to sign some kind of copyright assignment. That's why I would highly prefer a doc over source code. Vincent Pelletier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OpenBoot callback function
Hi. I'm working on grub2 port on ultrasparc, and I'm searching for docs describing how args are passed to the callback function, and how to read the result. I saw silo and kernel uses lots of asm to do that, and I would like to avoid it as much as possible.
