Could you post the exact invocation for setleds? It should be on the logs. I think the invocation for setleds shuld be: /usr/bin/setleds -D +num < /dev/%i The difference between %I (capital "i") and %i is only that %i escapes special symbols, but since it's only the string tty[1-N], I don't think it matters much. The exact invocation of setleds matters, so we can see if the template unit is generating the correct one.
