Dracut doesn't load keytable/keymap when booting
Last modified: 2012-08-14 17:57:46 EDT
Description of problem: When dracut.noarch 0:018-96.git20120724.fc17 is installed, loading of the proper keyboard table via dracut doesn't work when booting. The message is: loadkeys: /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/no.map:2: cannot open include file qwerty-layout This is fatal when the root partition is encrypted, because the password entered is translated via a wrong keytable (US?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut.noarch 0:018-96.git20120724.fc17 How reproducible: Install the mentioned version and boot. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dracut.noarch 0:018-96.git20120724.fc17 2. Build a new kernel or install latest F17 one 3. Problem occurs Actual results: Proper keytable doesn't get loaded. Expected results: Proper keytable gets loaded. Additional info: Doing a "yum downgrade" to dracut.noarch 0:018-35.git20120510.fc17 and recreating the initramfs via "dracut -f" solves the problem.

Updating to the new version doesn't help. The same as described before is happening. Downgrading to dracut.noarch 0:018-35.git20120510.fc17 and recreating the initramfs ("dracut -f") resolves the problem.
