FWIW I've since compiled and tested latest stable .30, .29 and .28, just to make sure I'm not hitting a heisenbug, but the symptoms are unchanged for .30 and .29, while .28 works. The compiler is the Debian 'stable' sparc gcc, nothing fancy there. -- 2.

Re: activating a PCI video board

PS/2 jack don't fit in the connector. Anyone knows how to work around this problem ? What problem ? The PCI video card or the Keyb/mouse ? For the PCI card, SPARC card have a special firmware which is usable with the OBP (the equivalent of bois on sparc hardware). The card must be compatible with the OBP to be able to switch the console to the new card. The PCI card can be activated directly under linux with the proper xorg.conf configuration. If you planned to put the PCI card to be able to use an USB keyb/mouse to boot the machine and install a system from the console, forget about it. It won't work. You need either a sun keyboard / mouse or boot the machine headless and plug a serial cable on the machine (DB25/DB9 null modem).
