I event tried to manually use loadkeys to load my keymap and other keymaps, which as no effect, the problem happen in console and with X. Meanwhile I have a strange bug wich give me some errors if I want to log into the console, and telnet is not accessible (allowing connections but leaving before asking a login).

I'm using yaboot, and macos (actually macosX) doesn't seems to complain about hardware, perhaps my hdb disk is getting tired....

I experienced the same problem for 2-2-19 kernel as for console login, excepted that it's not an error message I have but a system freeze. moreover when the kernel starts it produce a 4 strange lines filled with color rectangles including a circle, I'm pretty sure that it's not a kernel hacker's joke (but why not :-) ), and get an error message with the rtc module :

I just get the kernel image package from debian testing so the error must be here I think.

I want to mention either that I have no problem to log with kdm (except the fact that with the 2-2-19 kernel, as the keymap is completely false, it's not easy to type a correct password :-( )

I have the newest console-data (as for yesterday at least), and it didn't corrected the problem, and event if it's false, why loadkeys didn't have any effect.Attachment:
