Description Panu Matilainen 2004-09-28 15:15:56 UTC
Description of problem:
In "unconfigured" mode rc.sysinit looks for /usr/sbin/kbdconfig which
doesn't exist anymore on RHEL 3, causing the keyboard configuration
step to be missed.

This bit should be changed to use redhat-config-keyboard instead...

    if [ -x /usr/sbin/kbdconfig ]; then
        /usr/sbin/kbdconfig
    fi

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All RHEL 3 and FC2 versions of initscripts-package (possibly FC3test,
haven't checked)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. touch /.unconfigured
2. reboot

    

Actual Results:  Keyboard setup is missed.

Expected Results:  Should've asked for keyboard layout before root
password.

Additional info:

Affects Fedora Core as well...

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2005-03-14 12:17:55 UTC
Actually the fix is incorrect for RHEL 3: it now refers to
system-config-keyboard which is not present in RHEL 3, should be
redhat-config-keyboard instead like the original bug description says.
