keyboard (console-data?) problem



I'm trying to upgrade to testing on an old (1996) laptop (Fujitsu FMV-5120 NA2/W).

Hand-rolled 2.4.22 kernel.

On this machine, I want a "standard Japanese" keyboard layout ("jp106") because otherwise lots of keys are in the wrong place. This worked in Woody.

Tried dpkg-reconfigure console-data, selected this type of keyboard, then got the message

  Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible.

Why wouldn't the console be accessible? Any suggestions?

Regards, Jan
