Hi ;)
a ) fonts: rc.sysinit has erroneously /bin/loadkeys and not
/usr/bin/loadkeys as Lunar has, so:
if [ "$CONSOLETYPE" = "vt" -a -x /bin/loadkeys ]; then
has to be changed to
if [ "$CONSOLETYPE" = "vt" -a -x /usr/bin/loadkeys ]; then
As a side note, to get stuff working as before the new
initscripts, and after changing the loadkeys path in
rc.sysinit, I set (in my case spanish environment):
* /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: export KEYMAP=es
that will (in my case) do "loadkeys es" when I see "Loading
default keymap" on boot.
* /etc/sysconfig/i18n: export SYSFONT=lat0-16
that will run (in my case) "consolechars -f lat0-16",
echoing "Setting default font" boot msg.
b ) Why is /etc/modules left out of new installs? In
modutils' POST_INSTALL we still get a message to use this
file (for non new initscripts users, I suppose). It has been
now disabled by the not install of a init.d/modutils file
from module-init-tools or modutils. That init.d/modutil file
cycled through /etc/modules modprobing all listed modules.
This file used to be installed, and linked from
/etc/rcS.d/S20modutils, so it was executed on boot. Should
we now only use an alias from /etc/modules.conf, like for
example as done in /etc/rc.sysinit for sound? What if we
want to load a module that is not loaded specifically in
rc.sysinit ?
TIA,
