After some digging, it turns out that the problem was being caused by non-UTF-8 po files in redhat-config-date and redhat-config-soundcard. Firstboot calls these modules to draw the date and soundcard screen, so the broken encoding were being passed up the line to firstboot, which started truncating the strings once it reached a char that it didn't understand. My guess is that it was happening in a few other languages besides Danish too. This should be fixed in redhat-config-date-1.5.9-9 and redhat-config-soundcard-1.0.4-3. Thanks for your report. |
