Description of problem:
After upgrading from RHL 7.3 I cannot change the keytable (which is
not so well in front of a German keyboard) permanently.

redhat-config-keyboard remember my settings but on next reboot this is
already gone again.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.42.2-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHL 7.3 with all updates
2. Configure e.g. a German keyboard map
3. Update to Fedora Core 1
    

Actual Results:  Not working

Expected Results:  Working

Additional info:

I've tracked down the problem, see reason now:

On my RHL 7.3 system, a file called
/etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap. During the upgrade, it wasn't
neither removed nor I got a warning. redhat-config-keyboard ignores
this file, but rc.sysinit not.

And therefore, the defined keytable wasn't loaded. Simply renamed the
file, and all works fine.

Related code:
if [ "$CONSOLETYPE" = "vt" -a -x /bin/loadkeys ]; then
 KEYTABLE=
 KEYMAP=
 if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap ]; then <-!!!!
  KEYMAP=/etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap  <-!!!!!!!!
 else
  if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/keyboard ]; then
    . /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
  fi
  if [ -n "$KEYTABLE" -a -d "/lib/kbd/keymaps" ]; then
     KEYMAP="$KEYTABLE.map"
  fi
 fi


Note that on a fresh FC1 install, "default.kmap" doesn't exist at all.
