Absolutely wrong. The previous situation was a mess, keyboard
maps had to be coded up for every keyboard type out there. Now,
multi-lingual keyboard maps need to be written for only one
keyboard type, x86.
Reconfigure the console package properly to just use the kernel
default keymap.

Yes, there is some problem initializing the serial line that the
keyboard and mouse use. The break characters that get detected
when the baud rate is incorrect are not showing up for some reason.
What kind of machine is this? It only happens with certain serial
controllers, not all, which is why your machine type is important.
