I think I'll continue on a kernel list to figure out what kernel
2.6.27 does differently from 2.6.17, and why (and whether that
behaviour cannot be changed with a compile-time option). I think that
part is really not a gentoo-specific question. But I'll report here
when I get the result!
On my /etc/rc.conf, there's this:
# Set unicode to YES to turn on unicode support for keyboards
# and screens.
unicode="YES"
So I suppose maybe simpley changing this to "NO" will do the job. I'm
on OpenRC now though so maybe it looks different on older baselayout.
Try "grep -ri unicode /etc" and see what you find.
