Actually this is right in this case, Karsten. The new serial-detection code is detecting a serial console install, and since DEBCONF_PRIORITY is higher than "low", kbd-chooser is setting serial-console=true and quitting without setting the keyboard. Whats confusing is that this option is appearing on main-menu, but apparently 'does nothing'. Martin is only seeing this because country-chooser has for some reason failed, and he sees main-menu. In the normal DEBCONF_PRIORITY=high flow, you would see the language-chooser question, country-chooser and then disk-partitioning; the kbd-chooser question would not appear. Can I be of any assistance in the kbd-chooser problem? Is the code available somewhere? I had some console-keymaps-dec code but have not commited, as you said you had some, and I don't have access to a mips/el box currently, so yours should be better :-) Regards Alastair -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
