In debug, keytrable is always set to 'en-gb' nomatter what menu option I select on the initial screen.  I've tried editing the grub command line to add KEYTABLE=uk (which seems to be a valid entry for this dict), but it didn't change anything.

I don't know how to make anaconda use the keyboard setting I've given it.

This is preupgrading F14 to F16.

It appears to have copied a legacy value of KEYTABLE from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard into /boot/upgrade/ks.cfg and that then isn't being checked for a valid value.  I have gotten around it by fixing the ks.cfg file.

Anaconda should probably check at least that value there before using them;  alternatively, preupgrade should have not written it if it were unacceptable ( I think the list of valid kickstart keyboard settings is fixed).

This bug blocks unattended installation in Gnome Boxes. I get same trackback.

Please attach your kickstart (with private info removed).

Thats *not* the kickstart file but the binary image of the floppy disk on which the kickstart file is put. You can grab the kickstart file using:

mcopy -i ~/.cache/gnome-boxes/fedora17-unattended.img ::ks.cfg .
