Hi b-vol<br><br>I am not sure that KEYMAP is useful with an absolute path as I think its is prepended with a path (where loadkeys expects to find keymaps).<br>The smae script works out whether the KEYMAP variable is a filename or 'keyboard style'. If it is the latter it constructs a filename for loadkeys.<br>
<br>You could of course:<br>a) chanhge the script.<br>b) call loadkeys explicitly<br><br>Hope that helps <br>Leon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/11/28 b-vol <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bvl@btconnect.com">bvl@btconnect.com</a>></span><br>

<br>
I managed to stumble my way and build the latest clfs- for pure64/ AMD-64 (<br>
I have made my small changes by using kernel <a href="http://2.6.27.7" target="_blank">2.6.27.7</a>, buinutils-2.19<br>
(without patches) and udev-133.<br>
<br>
The setup boots OK compiler and linker all seem to work OK. There may however<br>
be a problem in the bootscript. I have two files which will not compile<br>
linux-atm-2.5 and apache-log4CXX-0.10.0 and these seem to be the files'<br>
64-bit imcompatiility or with the gcc-4.3.2. (report of any fixes will be<br>
appreciated)<br>
<br>
Back to my main reason for posting: My /etc/sysconfig/console file looks<br>
like that below:-<br>
##############################<br>
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/console<br>
<br>
#KEYMAP="uk"<br>
#KEYMAP="uk.map.gz"<br>
KEYMAP="/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.map.gz"<br>
#KEYTABLE="uk.map.gz"<br>
FONT="lat1-16"<br>
<br>
# End /etc/sysconfig/console<br>
##############################<br>
if line 1 or 2 or 3 is enabled the boot returns<br>
" setting keymap to uk [fail] " or words such OR<br>
settting keymap to uk.map.gz [fail] or words such<br>
<br>
if line 4 is enabled nothing relating to loading a kemap is reported<br>
in the boot process.<br>
<br>
In all instances no British pound sign is available and the hash "#" key<br>
and "2" key are reversed and quite a few other keys also.<br>
<br>
suggestions would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
sincerely<br>
b-vol<br>
