Hi,
After finally resolving my yaboot issues, I am able to boot Gentoo on my PB 15 1.25. Unfortunately, I cannot even login, as the keyboard doesn't seem to work at all.
What might be causing the problem? Is it known or have I probably disabled a kernel option that is necessary? Which options do I need to make the keyboard work? I don't remember disabling the keyboard but maybe I made a mistake with the ADB and RTC options as I just tried to follow the Gentoo Handbook instructions without really knowing what I did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Andreas |

| I have the same problem. I'm trying to install the 2.6.3-r2 kernel. It seems like most advice out there about the ADB keycode problem refers to 2.4 config options. Does anyone know how to file this for 2.6 and/or have a working config file to work from on this platform? |

andreas,
I have changed a keymap called mac-be-PPC.map.gz.
if you can't find it on your disk get it here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~sejo/mac-be-PPC.map.gz
This is for a azerty keyboard. If you have a Querty, you might wan't to change it. I for one cannot convert it to a querty board cause i don't have one...
If you make a complete map (or take a picture) of the keyboard, (with everything readable) i can create one...
meanwhile for auerty use the us keymap...
and make sure you have adb compiled in your kernel.
greetings

I had the same problem when upgrading to the 2.6.4 kernel. I believe my problem was not activating CONFIG_ADB_MACIO and CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID. Here is the section of my .config that fixed the problem when it was configured correctly.
| Code: |
# Macintosh device drivers
#
CONFIG_ADB=y
CONFIG_ADB_CUDA=y
CONFIG_ADB_PMU=y
CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK=y
CONFIG_PMAC_APM_EMU=y
CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT=y
# CONFIG_MAC_FLOPPY is not set
# CONFIG_MAC_SERIAL is not set
CONFIG_ADB_MACIO=y
CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID=y
CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN=y
# CONFIG_THERM_WINDTUNNEL is not set
# CONFIG_THERM_ADT7467 is not set
# CONFIG_ANSLCD is not set
|
Hope this helps. |

Thanks for the reply!
Actually, deactivating the ADB option was the problem! This seems to be an error in the Gentoo Manual.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards
