[ this is a copy of RH6.2 report #12221, the bug exists in betas too ] Using the latest updates disk and the latest boot.img/bootnet.img (CDROM/FTP Server). Beginning the installation with 'text updates'. In keyboard layout selection menu, pressing 'F' yields different selection in bootnet/boot. The one goes to 'fi', the other to 'fi-latin1'. Both layouts still exist in both cases, the hotkey algorithm just seems to be different (or one layout is missing from one). (verified by brock)
I could not reproduce this problem in beta3.
It seems to be there still. Did you use TUI? The procedure I used with beta3: 1) - Boot w/ bootnet.img on floppy, hit enter on Syslinux prompt - Choose English as language. - Press 'f' in keyboard layout selection --> fi-latin1. 2) - Boot w/ redhat-shipped beta3, say 'text' in Syslinux prompt - Choose English as language. - Press 'f' in keyboard layout selection --> fi. HTH.
verified ... the inconsistency appears to be due to a different sort order imposed by keyboard selection in stage1 vs keyboard selection in stage2 ...
Fixed.
Fix verified in beta4.
The original selection bug was fixed in Pinstripe. *However* now if you choose 'fi-latin1' in TUI, 'fi' will end up written in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and the layout will be messed up. Forgot to update something else too? If this can't be fixed properly, by all means revert to the old behaviour (for now at least).
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1 ...a *complete* fix for GUI and TUI is requried. Either that, or the original behavior needs to be restored.
Fixed for RC1
Works fine in RC1, closing.
