I suspect it's rather Ã, e.g. you're seeing "ä" instead of "ä". > Umlauts still work when I reboot with Kernel 2.6.18. I think the 2.6.26 kernel uses UTF-8 by default which would explain the discrepancy. > Do I have to add something to /etc/console, boottime* etc.? > > What else do I have to do to get my umlauts back with 2.6.26? Check /etc/default/locale, /etc/environment and your shell initialization files for locale settings. Generally I would recommend to switch to a UTF-8 locale now, the utf8-migration-tool package can help you with the transition.
