It's another problem. Just after the first reboot after the installation keys like '=E9' ar= e=20 displayed correctly but if you boot again '=E9' are displayed '=F5' Same problem for all "special" characters. Seems that a script is pla= yed at=20 the first reboot but not for the others reboot. But it must be something more ##!## because only kernel 2.6 is affect= ed by=20 this. =20 I'm currently trying to confirm that one. I suspect this is related to be the console font problem in #253211 (huge bug log...) This problem is not there on the latest sid_d-i build. With the 2.6 install, everything is OK on the french install=A0: I can type "=E9" at the command line and they are properly outputted Hence, closing this bug. I'm sorry but I can reproduce this bug with the last daily built CD image (13-Jun-2004). First boot is ok, second boot no. I have check all and confirm that bug on my system. Any clue for deeper investigation ? Is there someone else to reproduce that bug ?
