I can now CONFIRM this behavior after building a clean LFS SVN-20140519.
Just after first boot, in console prompt, accented characters like à are
displayed as 'a. All other characters are well placed, like Ñ, ç, €,
etc. This happens also using a spanish AT keyboard with
/etc/sysconfig/console set to:
KEYMAP="es"
KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2"
FONT="lat0-16 -m 8859-15"
Setting also this values in /etc/sysconfig/rc.site does not correct the
problem.
That is just an alternative way of setting the environment variables
above. Any set in rc.site that are also set in /etc/sysconfig/console
are overridden by the latter file.
Executing "#loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/es" seems to correct
the problem with accents, but this is lost after reboot.
What I am trying to do is to se the encoding in console.
What it works for me is to use at the prompt the following;
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qerty/es.map.gz
but I would like it to have it loaded at boot time, if possible.
This is a quick workaround to temporary fix this:
# mv /etc/rc.d/init.d/console /etc/rd.c/init.d/console.ORIG
# cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/console << "EOF"
cd /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty
loadkeys es
loadkeys euro2
If you look at /etc/init.d/console, then you will see that it should do
exactly what you have.
setfont lat0-16 -m 8859-15
Except this is done first.
If you can put a few echo statements in /etc/init.d/console and see
where there is a problem, I can update the script.
