Package: boot-floppies Version: unavailable; reported 2003-02-26 Severity: important
When the box reboots after initial base system install, a boottime keymap is loaded that seems to cause my old 88 key adb keyboard to be mapped wrong (using the qwerty/us keymap). The solution I have found is to use the shell on VT2 to remove the /target/etc/init.d/keymap.sh script (or just move it out of the way) so that the kernel keymap is kept on reboot. Once console-tools or console date (whichever it is that allows you to select a more specific keymap) is configured, a working keymap (that is KERNEL) can be chosen. This problem arose when manually editing the sources list at install time to point to unstable rather than stable. I do not know if the problem appears if stable or testing are installed instead. The system used is a power macintosh 8500/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (xlr8), though I doubt that has any bearing on the problem, as an apple extended 101 key adb keyboard does not exhibit the same problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: powerpc Kernel: Linux Galadriel 2.4.20-rc1-ben0 #12 Thu Nov 21 03:40:36 EST 2002 ppc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
