Bug#493304: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686: switch to utf8 breaks console for systems with legacy encodings
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
Version: 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.4
Severity: normal
File: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
Hi,
after installing the etchnhalf kernel, I found that only the ascii
portion of my keyboard worked on the linux console. It turned out that,
as of 2.6.24, the kernel defaults to starting the console in unicode
mode (vt.default_utf8=1).
On my i386 desktop, this only seemed to set the wrong keyboard mode; but
on my powerpc machine, it somehow messed up the entire keymap.
I don't know what's the policy WRT to such breakage caused by the
etchnhalf kernels, but this has bitten my quite badly, so I'm filing a
bug.
Nikolaus
