Hi!

Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net> skribis:

Currently installing a keymap is something done by the =E2=80=98console-key=
map=E2=80=99
Shepherd service, which invokes =E2=80=98loadkeys=E2=80=99.  That happens a=
fter
=E2=80=9Ccryptsetup --open=E2=80=9D has opened your encrypted root device, =
hence the
problem.

Should we install the keymap right in the initrd, before we=E2=80=99ve moun=
ted
the root partition?  That would require copying the right keymap(s) and
probably =E2=80=98loadkeys=E2=80=99 to the initrd, which might make it quit=
e big.

Suggestions?  How do others handle it?

Thanks for your report,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
