The tables for UTF-8 for translating lower <-> upper case are too large, so they did not support translating that in the kernel, at least that's what one of our kernel maintainers wrote. There's also an "utf8" option that can be used with a non-utf8 charset, i'm not sure how that works, though: "iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8" -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
