The kernel command line should use the new syntax then.

livecd-tools and spins don't appear to be setting this. Any idea where it comes from?

No idea, is a LiveCD of Fedora 18 KDE Alpha, fresh install on a Vbox machine.

md5sum:

4ef01dc6ecd8254de615cf1bd8a44879  Fedora-18-Alpha-i686-Live-KDE.iso

@brian @herald,

if you need to perform some test, tell me, I am at your disposal and my vbox machine too

Any progress with this bug?

I can't see any KEYTABLE string on /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/* files

Is this with booting the LiveCD, or after _installing_ from the LiveCD and booting without the LiveCD?

If it is after installing, reassign to anaconda.

After installing, booting Fedora 18 Alpha from the HDD, when the system is installed and up to date.

Sorry, the error message was wrong.

SYSFONT -> vconsole.font
FONT -> vconsole.font

KEYTABLE -> vconsole.keymap
KEYMAP -> vconsole.keymap

FONT_MAP -> vconsole.font.map
CONTRANS -> vconsole.font.map

FONT_UNIMAP -> vconsole.font.unimap
UNIMAP -> vconsole.font.unimap

UNICODE -> vconsole.font.unicode

EXT_KEYMAP -> vconsole.keymap.ext

Reopening, something seems wrong here.

vconsole.* are kernel commandline parameters.

KEY* are /etc/sysconfig/i18n paraemters.

According to the vconsole.conf man page, options are:

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
           Configures the key mapping table for the keyboard.  KEYMAP=
           defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to
           configured a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.

       FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
           Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font
           map.

The current code is writing vconsole.* to /etc/sysconfig/i18n (invalid), and KEYMAP to /etc/vconsole.conf (looks right).

I believe it should be writing KEYMAP to both. Sending patch.

I modified the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" in /etc/default/grub according to the warnings and after that I ran "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg". These options can be also set in /etc/vconsole.conf. Apparently /etc/default/grub is not updated or created as grub.rpmnew at the upgrade of grub2-tools, which owns it.

Is bug 858963 a duplicate of this one ?
