I'm currently trying to get a 2.6.6 kernel to work on my AXi based sparc box. Everything works fine from the install CD, but once I've built a kernel and try and use it the keyboard goes haywire.

I don't think it's a keymap problem as I've tried several and it makes no difference. Most of the keys come out as control codes, although some of the numeric keypad keys come out as letters.

If anybody can offer help it would be most appreciated. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the serial ports, or whether type 6 keyboards behave differently to types 4 and 5.

What keymap are you using? As I learnt when using 2.6.6 you use a x86 layout i.e. "uk" or "us" instead of "sunkeymap".
