Thanks a lot for your report. Init systems seem to be kbd’s greatest enemy :-) May I ask you to apply the attached patch to your local copy of /etc/init.d/kbd and confirm that it works? The solution isn’t perfect since it’s theoretically possible that gettys are started from files other than /etc/init/tty*.conf, but I guess it is good enough for most cases.
