Just managed to check this. No, console=hvc0 doesn't skip the keymap question, but looks like the kernels which have hvc don't throw and error running kbd-chooser. At least that's the case under 2.6.25-xen, which I tested a couple of minutes ago. So let me raise the issue again (and risk some bikeshed effect): * Does kbd-chooser make any sense under Xen? (I guess not.) * Should we skip running it from a virtualized D-I? (I guess yes, especially that it's so simple to achieve.) * Would a simple [ -d /sys/bus/xen ] check do? -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
