The problem with the accents and the inability to add them using the Linux console has been covered (rather) well in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3922 If you go through the bug report, you will come across the full picture.
If you want an executive summary, have a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143014#c6 All in all, there should be a terminal emulator created for the Linux Framebuffer (either from scratch, or reusing existing terminal emulators). Adding accents to the "emergency" console is something out of the question for the kernel developers, as the Linux console as we currently have should not even know about Unicode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
