Description of problem: Every time I boot, I get an error message which disappears and then continues booting. When going to a TTY, the keyboard layout is US instead of the one I chose on installation.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd 248 (v248~rc4-3.fc34)
How reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora with a custom keyboard layout (Latin American in my case)
2. Boot Fedora
Actual results:
I get an error message and the keyboard layout doesn't work on TTYs.
Error message on boot (always visible before it disappears, without having to press Esc):
[FAILED] Failed to start Setup Virtual Console

`systemctl status` says `State: degraded` with red.

la-latin1.map.gz is provided by kbd-legacy package. I assume you don't have this package installed.
Please check if the issue goes away if you install that.
Was this a new install? How did you configure the layout (localectl, Anaconda, gnome-initial-setup?)
