This shouldn't be happening so I need you to make few tests in order to see what went wrong. First, to make it clear - I suppose you you entered single user mode from the corresponding menu item of grup? If you used 'emergency' mode (option -b at grub menu) then it would be normal for the keyboard to be leaven unconfigured. Second, while you machine is entering single user mode do you see the text 'Setting preliminary keymap'? If you don't, do you have a file /etc/rcS.d/S06keyboard-setup? Third, if you see the text 'Setting preliminary keymap', can you test that the keyboard is still unconfigured? What is the output of the command ls -l /etc/default/keyboard /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz Console-setup uses time-stamps in order to determine whether the keyboard map needs recompiling. If your date/time was incorrect and cached.kmap.gz seems newer than /etc/default/keyboard then console-setup will never recompile the keymap. If this is the case, then you need to remove /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
