Description cvetkofabian07@tutanota.com 2021-06-03 08:03:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Systemd on boot: [FAILED] Failed to start Setup Virtual Console

That's because keymap "sg" doesn't exist. Loading "ch" in tty works. 
/etc/vconsole.conf is allready correctly set to "ch" by default.
I set the console keymap myself with localectl, but the error persists.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 34

How reproducible:

Every boot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 34 KDE plasma with SwissGerman keyboard
2. Boot System and get error (See below in additional info).

Actual results:
systemd-vconsole-setup.service apparently runns "loadkeys sg" witch will fail because "sg" doesn't exist.

Expected results:
"loadkeys ch"

Comment 1 Vasiliy Glazov 2021-07-17 12:20:48 UTC 
I can confirm bug.

The same error with KEYMAP="ru".

Workaround:
1. Change KEYMAP in /etc/vconsole.conf to "us".
2. Run
sudo dracut -f
sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force
