Not 100% of what your problem is but it sounds like your installed keymap is corrupt. Perhaps the 'install-keymap' program could be of use here. Read the man page carefully. What this suggestion will do is to remove the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file. Make a backup if you need it but it looks to be the problem to me. This will then default to the built in kernel keymap. install-keymap KERNEL Alternately you might pick a new keymap and install it. Look in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/* or appropriate for possibilities. In the use the us.kmap.gz is probably the typical one. But I really don't know since I always make my own keymap to customize my keyboard layout on the console and so I don't actually use any of the included keymaps directly. install-keymap us.kmap.gz HTH Bob
