When running make install from kernel source the following error occurs: sh /root/linux-3.6.2/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.6.2 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ System.map "/boot" /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: line 1: vconsole.keymap=us: command not found Steps to reproduce: 1) get latest kernel from kernel.org (3.6.1 or 3.6.2 in this case) 2) tar -zxvf linux-3.6.2.tar.gz 3) cd linux-3.6.2/ 4) yum install @development-tools ncurses-devel -y 5) make mrproper 6) make oldconfig 7) make prepare 8) make menuconfig 9) choose options, save config 10) make 11) make modules_install 12) make bzImage 13) make install receive error shown above. Fix: copy /etc/sysconfig/keyboard from f17 which looks like: KEYTABLE="us" MODEL="pc105+inet" LAYOUT="us"
Might be helpful to see the make install output.
Make install output is the following: "sh /root/linux-3.6.2/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.6.2 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ System.map "/boot" /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: line 1: vconsole.keymap=us: command not found"
Installs call /sbin/installkernel which is provided by grubby. Either grubby or dracut is spitting this error out. It's not a kernel problem.
thx.
Sorry to be a pest but can someone provide an update on this please?
What does your /etc/sysconfig/keyboard look like?
it was something like vconsole.keymap="us"
This is causing multiple issues, Gnome netinstall, compiling kernel, changing plymouth themes, etc. Filing as a blocker along with related bugs.
(In reply to comment #8) > This is causing multiple issues, > > Gnome netinstall, compiling kernel, changing plymouth themes, etc. The kernel builds fine in Fedora. It's not blocking F18 in that regard.
You are right. I was merely pointing out the relationship between bugs.
I may be misunderstanding something... Why is this bug listed as being blocked by the F18Beta tracker bug?
No idea - I removed F18Beta.
Dan, if you want to escalate this you could propose it as a NTH under F18-accepted.
Done and thanks. Removed the bug dependency and added both bugs as NTH.

This was a bug in an earlier anaconda build. However, I'm pretty sure it's been fixed. Can you reproduce this with current TC trees?
Will try
I'm not aware of anyone but Dan hitting this, so don't think it qualifies as a 'commonbug' as things stand. dropping keyword for now.
This was fixed by: commit 96f844476268cefbc8779d037be386834974fd0a Author: Bill Nottingham <notting> Date: Thu Oct 25 23:56:25 2012 -0400 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard doesn't support vconsole.xyz options Which was included in anaconda-18.22.
Thanks. Will test.
Confirmed the fix. [root@f18 linux-3.6.8]# make install sh /root/linux-3.6.8/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 3.6.8 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ System.map "/boot" [root@f18 linux-3.6.8]#
