[Cooker] Keyboard kernel errors
Anybody getting the same problem I have since moving to 2.4.2? Two keys on my keyboard ` and ' keys have to be pressed twice to register! Anything typed after pressing the key once is dropped. Apparently something like this was posted on kernel traffic. It's happened with every kernel so far in cooker. It didn't happen when I was running 2.4.0 Any ideas?

Fuzzy recollection, but I think you need to choose "US Keyboard" and not "US International Keyboard" when you setup. Of course, it might be a different problem, but that's what happened to me :-) /Kevin -- Kevin J.

But afterwards I changed it to plain US keyboard. Chances are it never changed since DrakConf was segfaulting so much originally.
