(In general: no, but more often so on sparc64.) Thinking about it, the best idea is probably to _ignore_ boottime.kmap.gz if 2.6 is detected at boot time, instead of removing it the first time we see it. That way, once you boot back to 2.2/2.4 or whatever, it'll get used again without the need for user intervention. Others, please CC: commentary to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Joshua Kwan
#269405: : kernel-image-2.6.8-1-sparc64: keyboard problem
Hi, I'm looking at bug #269405, which apparently is due to 2.6 kernels now using non-Sparc keyboards. A proposed solution is for console-data to remove old boottime.kmap.gz files (which contain the sun keymap) when it detects 2.6 kernels on sparc. However I am wondering how this affects 2.4 machines; is a Sun machine without a sun keymap usable? Please CC: me as I do not usually follow this list.
