[parisc-linux] Successful installation and keyboard problems

[Paul Seelig]

Hi all,

i finally downloaded the palinux-0.9.4 ISO and successfully installed
Debian on my 715/64.  Installation was surprisingly smooth -- albeit
without X so far -- and the system seems to run just fine dualbooting
with the NeXTSTEP-3.3 i installed last sunday. :-)

Because of NeXTSTEP i've once gotten rid of my HIL keyboard and mouse,
replacing both with standard PS/2 variants.  Unfortunately, at the
console the PS/2 keyboard (with German layout) chokes on pressing the
key containing the characters '>', '<' and '|' (on a german keyboard
the key between Shift and Y), only telling me:

     keyboard: unrecognized scancode (7f) ignored

I have to admit that i didn't check any FAQ.  So please simply ignore
my question if it can be solved with some scrutinizing RTFM. ;-)

Anyway, Debian runs and i'm really happy about it! :-)

                                    Thanks, P. *8^)
