Ok, this is the 3rd time I've seen the problem with it being unable to load the kaymap. The other two were with boot-floppies I built with a patched kernel, not the 2.2.16 test build, and so I disregared them until now. But it looks like a real, general problem. When I saw it, I had picked the defaults when setting up the keyboard, and it gave the error he mentioned. VT 3 said it was not a valid keymap file. I then went to the shell, found the keymap tarball, unpacked it, and verified the file it was trying to load existed and was nonzero. I didn't get any further though. ----- Forwarded message from Pann McCuaig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 15:34:40 -0700 From: Pann McCuaig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Report: 2.2.16 i386 build available for testing Reply-To: Pann McCuaig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.3i Installed the idepci flavor on a 486-DX50 with 20M RAM and a wd80x3 10BT NIC and a good (T1) net connection. Damn near flawless. Got this message when selecting the keyboard: Error loading the keymap i386//qwerty/us.bmap from /etc/keymaps.tgz And I installed no tasks. But I did install ssh and am in fact typing this email on that new potato box while logged into my slink++ box at home (from work). Good job.
