This bug is about how changing the keyboard layout post install with system-config-keyboard, does not update grub.conf to reflect the new layout. Now that we are using dracut for the initrd, grub.conf contains something like: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64 ro root=LABEL=root SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=ko rhgb quiet (on one line) dracut needs the SYSFONT, LANG and KEYTABLE information for things like showing the correct translated messages while scanning storage, and more importantly for proper unlocking of crypted disks. mkinitrd use to hardcode the keyboard layout inside the initrd, so after running system-config-language, one needed to rerun mkinitrd to get this updated propagated to the initrd. dracut is more flexible wrt this. This does mean that system-config-keyboard will need to modify grub.conf when the system keyboard is changed. Note that dracut also sometimes needs SYSFONTACM, UNIMAP and KEYBOARDTYPE settings, system-config-keyboard should add KEYBOARDTYPE=.... when KEYBOARDTYPE != pc.
Note that system-config-keyboard does not need to modify /etc/grub itself, after writing the relevant /etc/sysconfig files, "all" that system-config-keyboard needs to do is call (as root): /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package <package-name> --dracut --install <uname -r> For all installed kernels, so for example on my system: [hans@localhost ~]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-PAE kernel-2.6.31.5-106.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 kernel-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64 package kernel-PAE is not installed [hans@localhost ~]$ It would need to call: /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install 2.6.31.5-106.fc12.x86_64 /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install 2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64 (this should be 3 lines) But on a system which has kernel-PAE-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686 It would need to call: /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel-PAE --dracut --install 2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686.PAE Notice the PAE is in there now (2 times!) p.s. A similar change is needed for system-config-language, it would be good for both tools to share the code to invoke new-kernel-pkg for all installed kernels
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is still an issue with Fedora-15 bumping version.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Can the reporter please bump this to F21?
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
