I'm not sure if this answers the problem you are having, so I'll let
you decide.  If you can boot the system in question, you can set the
keymap in the kernel parameters.  That way you always know the keymap
you are dealing with. e.g. KEYTABLE=us  And if you want to be sure of
consistency in X, put a file in your home directory called .Xkbmap with
a single line giving the name of the keyboard map you want X to always
use.  It will be set at login.

I think these maps are stored in different places.  The first, the
kernel line, is the map for consoles (see loadkeys,
and /etc/sysconfig/keyboard). And the second is, of course, part of X
infrastructure (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols).  Unfortunately, they have
different syntax.
