I think this is related to your font tables. If it's in text mode then you might have changed fonts using one of the font tables in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts which lacks a few chars. I saw the same thing on a 486 I setup last week, but neigther my 486 or 6x86 do this. The only thing I can think of is that the 486 had it's font set using setfont while the other two had the font set from the bios with vga=extended in lilo. Jason
