I can see reverse-video question mark on LFS box, but reverse area is square in firefox/gmail and oval in lfs (I assume due to different font) > There are (at least) three things to be done when moving from > non-unicode to unicode: > > (i.) set the environment to use the unicode versions such as > en_US.UTF-8. > > (ii.) use a unicode console font. > > (iii.) adjust environment or other settings for individual > applications, e.g. in the distant past I used to use LESSCHARSET but > that is now redundant. > > I now wonder if you are using a non-unicode console font ? My console file: # Begin /etc/sysconfig/console UNICODE="1" KEYMAP="no-latin1" KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2" LEGACY_CHARSET="iso-8859-15" FONT="LatArCyrHeb-16 -m 8859-15" # End /etc/sysconfig/console # Begin /etc/profile export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # End /etc/profile - inputrc exactly as in the book - rc.site has no console parameters set Well, I've decided to look out of the box and changed keyboard from usb to ps/2 type - no difference. However when I tried to boot from exactly the same HDD on another motherboard from different vendor - everything works fine! It doesn't work on recent Atom D2550 motherboard and works on old D510 and on HP desktop with Core2. New Atom board has Intel ICH10R chipset and NUVOTON NTC6776D SuperIO, while old one has Intel ICH9R chipset and Winbond 83627DHG-P SuperIO. Does it mean the problem might be with some kernel drivers? /alexey -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
