Hi,

i am installing gentoo on a Ultra5 with serial console

The "emerge system" goes well till the emerge kbd. I get the following error

kdbrate.c:In function "KIOCSRATE_ioctl_ok':
kbdrate.c:164 structure has no member named 'period'
...

kdbrate.o Error 1

!!!ERROR: sys-apps/kdb-1.12 failed.
!!!Function src_compile, Line 50, Exitcode 2
!!!(no error message)

I booted gentoo with gentoo serial.

My ACCEPT-KEYWORDS="sparc".

Any suggestions?

As i am a big noob on the sparc architecture and an average gentoo user, i have some more question.
  • What happens if i don't install kbd? It is the only package who don't emerge from the whole emerge system and i will never use a keyboard on that Ultra5 (as i don't have one :wink: )
  • Will i be able to compile the kernel if i don't install kbd. (Maybe the kernel neds some files of it)
  • Where can i specify that i don't want to install kbd (if possible), so if i do a emerge -u system i don't have to emerge package per package after the kbd entry.


Hope this is understandable english :)

Check the BUG#40024, I've created a patch for it. I had the same problem myself with installation at Ultra60 system.
Hope it will help you too.

Cheers,

Erol

Yep, :lol:

the patch worked! Thx for the help.

Do i have to specify something on bugs.gentoo.org to let the people know that it worked for me too or is that all checked already?

Don't know. :) Maybe you can leave a note so developers know that it's working. :)
