[parisc-linux] sti & b2k: doesn't work?

[parisc-linux] sti & b2k: doesn't work?

[Joel Soete]

Hi pa,

Looking to solve the pb I encounter with b2k and pdc_console, I unfortunately
figure out that sti console doesn't work at all on this b2k model.

To be honnest, as the builtin gfx card is not (yet and may be never) supported,
I only use serial console till now.

I plug a hp usb kdb (the one supplied with the workstation) in a usb port,
then I reach to start palo in interactive mode to choose either a kernel
2.4 or 2.6. All start normaly untill I got a prompt for the login. But there,
I can hit any key on this kbd, nothing happen even though the system is well
running for the rest?? (same pb with latest cvs 2.4 and 2.6)

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for help,
    Joel

PS: because pdc_console make crash the kernel on this system I desable this
option.

Are you building your own kernels?
You have USB keyboard/mouse built-in or loaded as a module?

I so have a look:
in 2.4
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y

Is what I have to use (I also encounter CONFIG_USB_KBD and CONFIG_USB_MOUSE
but not see how to select with menuconfig?)

in 2.6 it is not yet a default: should I also used CONFIG_USB_HID=y; CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y?

Thanks for your attention,
    Joel

Which graphics card do you have ?
What does "lspci -v" and/or dmesg (look for "sti:") says ?

I don't have USB_KBD or USB_MOUSE set in my linux-2.4/.config file.
You also have USB_OHCI?

yes, among others. See the ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/kernels/c3000
for config files and kernels that work on c3000 with STI/USB console.
All the .tgz files have: vmlinuz, .config, System.map, /lib/modules

Hi Helge,

Sorry for delay but during week-end I do not have access to this system ;).

Here are the info:

PS: for pdc_console on b2k, I don't care for the moment that stifb is not
supported ;)
