I tested mini-cs-i386.iso in italian on qemu. One of the first steps in d-i was this (look at the comments with "<--"): --8<---- (1) Please select the layout matching the keyboard for this machine. <-- english string Keyboard layout: <-- english string Italia <-- default, chosen by me Italia - Georgiana <-- I never heard about this... Italia - Macintosh <-- perhaps this is for Intel Apple Italia - Tasti muti esclusi <-- (translated: "Italy - except mute buttons") what is this?!? Other <-- english string --8<---- (1) After downloading something (perhaps the base system?), this popped up: --8<---- (2) [!!] Configurazione in corso di console-setup <-- translated: "Running translation of console-setup" Origine della tastiera: <-- translated: "Keyboard origin:" ... <-- a lot of choices --8<---- (2) and then the same of (1) but translated in italian. > It is suggested to test localized installations of > a "standard" system, not necessarily with X, and check whether things > work as expected on the installed system (particularly display at the > console as well as the keymap used in the console). At the _first_ boot, before the "Setting the system clock." message, I got --8<---- (3) WARNING: undefined kernel key code for 153 WARNING: undefined kernel key code for 160 WARNING: undefined kernel key code for 162 ... <- other messages with other numbers WARNING: undefined kernel key code for 245 --8<---- (3) And then (always at the first boot), I got a very similar message (I didn't check if the numbers were the same) before the "INIT: Entering runlevel: 2" message. At the console (at every boot), all keys of the keyboard are working, except for characters "ì" and "ò", that are printed as rhombus (I don't know if I chose the wrong keyboard layout for qemu...).
