Sorry, the error message was wrong.

SYSFONT -> vconsole.font
FONT -> vconsole.font

KEYTABLE -> vconsole.keymap
KEYMAP -> vconsole.keymap

FONT_MAP -> vconsole.font.map
CONTRANS -> vconsole.font.map

FONT_UNIMAP -> vconsole.font.unimap
UNIMAP -> vconsole.font.unimap

UNICODE -> vconsole.font.unicode

EXT_KEYMAP -> vconsole.keymap.ext

Sorry, i no understand you, is a fixable bug by Fedora or Red Hat or you tell me how i can check the possible fix?, if yes true, tell me how and where edit what files, so, I test it and report again on the same bug report, for confirm if is fixed or not.
Thanks

anaconda should be fixed to use the new parameters to write to grub.conf

Okay, so should vconsole.font=<fontname>, ... now be on the command line
for the kernel in /etc/default/grub?

So where can we use these names?  Where should they be specified if they are wanted?

Comment 10 Harald Hoyer 2012-11-22 12:21:16 UTC
yes, on the kernel command line.

see "man vconsole.conf" and "man dracut.cmdline"

fedora17 upgrade fedora18 restart
system upgrade (fedora)

Yeah, dracut is right! anaconda or grubby should have fixed your kernel command line. Or just do it yourself by editing /etc/grub.cfg

Comment 14 oliver 2013-06-16 03:46:35 UTC
how editing /etc/grub.cfg?

Comment 15 Harald Hoyer 2013-06-17 11:24:16 UTC

> how editing /etc/grub.cfg?

# sudo gedit /etc/grub*.c*
