Hello, when running anaconda (kickstart) over a serial linedisplay (two line output device) loadkeys does not function. The output of anaconda is writing to /dev/console, which is achieved by kernel parameter "console=ttyS1". If user input is needed (ks.cfg-%pre) the layout of the keyboard does not match the settings in ks.cfg. Obviously the loadkeys of anaconda does not function correctly if the output is a serial port. This patch fixes this by not using /dev/console, but /dev/tty0 (the master-tty). The same problem might occur with to isys/lang.c:isysSetUnicodeKeymap(). This patch is tested on anaconda-10.x with different output devices (serial/cmdline, TUI and GUI). Regards, Niels
