Description of problem: When booting in a Japanese locale, init messages in the detailed console screen are initially displayed currently until when /etc/init.d/keytable is run. Then the output on the detailed screen from then on is broken. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhgb-0.10.2-1 Additional info: My guess is that this is probably caused by /etc/init.d/keytable running /sbin/setsysfont.
Bill removed the keytable initscript (since keytable gets loaded by rc.sysinit)
Fixed in the latest initscripts.
