If you are using a Sun serial keyboard & serial mouse attached via the
keyboard, you might have the same problem I do. I am running a 2.6.8
kernel on an Ultra5 with a Type 6 (at least that's what's molded into the
bottom of the keyboard) serial keyboard and a "crossbow" mouse attached to

That's completely normal behavior with 2.6 kernels (where the input layer
was redesigned).

I have an Ultra5 running a custom 2.6.8 kernel that I'm using as a LAMP
server. I have a PCI USB 2.0 board installed so that I can use my PC104
USB keyboard & mouse and put the Ultra5 on my 4-port USB KVM switch while I
set everything up & debug, then I'll yank the USB board and move the

I am trying to get an Ultra5 going with a USB keyboard (MS Internet KB Pro)
and mouse (Kensington Expert Mouse Pro) so I can run it on the same USB KVM

PCI card. It looks like I made it over the kernel compile hurdles

on initrd, but for a tuned, self compiled kernel, this isn't necessary.

After many attempts at trying to disable Sun KB & mouse support in the
Debian-supplied 2.4.27 source, nothing worked. First of all, with kernel
2.4.27, there are no options for Sun KB & mouse support listed in xconfig.
One has to manually edit .config to change these settings.

I have an Ultra5 that I've been running Sarge (testing - official snapshot

kernel-image-2.6.8-1-sparc64_2.6.8-5_sparc.deb, and also the corresponding

Sorry, all, about the long pause before responding. I really would like to
kick this problem. In the last few days, I have had a chance to look at
things a bit more closely.
One thing I should say is that I am a total newbie to Sun hardware and
OpenBoot, so please keep this in mind.

I recently inherited a Sun Ultra 5 from my company which I would like to use
