Description of problem:

During the boot-up process, the systemd-vconsole-setup module is supposed to read the file /etc/vconsole.conf and apply the settings in that file.  It is failing to apply the settings, although it does attempt to apply them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q kernel systemd
kernel-3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64
systemd-204-9.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:

Consistently with every start-up of Fedora.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a /etc/vconsole.conf with non-default settings for KEYMAP and FONT.
2. Restart Fedora so that the settings can be read by systemd-vconsole-setup.service, using either at run-level 3 or 5.

Actual results:

Neither the keymap nor the font have been set by systemd-vconsole-setup.service.

$ sudo systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service
...
systemd[1]: Starting Setup Virtual Console...
localhost.localdomain systemd-vconsole-setup[120]: cannot open file [key-map file]
localhost.localdomain systemd-vconsole-setup[120]: /usr/bin/loadkeys failed with error code 1.
localhost.localdomain systemd-vconsole-setup[120]: Cannot open font file [font name]
localhost.localdomain systemd-vconsole-setup[120]: /usr/bin/setfont failed with error code 66.
localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Started Setup Virtual Console.

Expected results:

The new keymap should be in effect and the new font should be used/displayed.

Additional info:

1. Restarting the service fixes the problem, that is, the service does not display the error messages and installs the new keymap and font:

   $ sudo systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service

2. Changing the kernel command-line options 'vconsole.keymap' and 'vconsole.font' does not fix the problem, either.  The default keymap and font are in effect when the system has completed start-up.
