This sounds like something that should be handled in the glorious future of the initrd. dracut sets the right keyboard layout, as does mkinitrd/nash reassigning to plymouth, which handles the password prompt (In reply to comment #2) > reassigning to plymouth, which handles the password prompt Sure about that? The installation was done with nomodeset, so the installation is using text-plymouth. At the time of the password prompt I was seeing the plain old console however. Yeah, the problem is with plymouth. I am working on it right now. The problem is that we were using the libc locale based wide character functions which do not work if we have no access to /usr/lib/. And we cant mount /usr/ without a password... Cryptsetup is unaffected because it doesn't try to separate the password into character elements. (In reply to comment #4) > The problem > is that we were using the libc locale based wide character functions which do > not work if we have no access to /usr/lib/.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
