Ok, thanks, that excludes one possible probem.

Umpf. Well...

Done so. Please check the issue and add any comments you might find useful
from your side. Thanks
Thanks a lot

Tbh, the documentation is not super clear on this particular issue.
At some point it might make sense to involve upstream to ask for
clarification.

The initramfs does *not* include the hwdb, which is deliberate (the hwdb
is rather large and not crucial during the initramfs stage).
The hwdb information is applied after the switch_root when the
systemd-udev-trigger.service is run.
You confirmed that naming the file 60-keyboard.hwdb, thus overriding the
one from /lib, does ensure the correct mapping is applied.
So my *guess* is, that the builtin{hwdb} is perhaps behaving differently
then systemd-hwdb query.
I guess we have to take this upstream. The first step would be, to
clarify whether overriding individual entries is supported or not (and
update the documentation while at it).
If you want, please file the issue at
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues
I can reproduce the issue though (I own the same keyboard), so I can
file it myself as well, if you don't want to.
Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael, hi Martin, > When reading the hwdb(7) man page, it only talks about overriding > *files* not individual *entries*. So what you want to do might indeed > not be supported and it is working as documented. Well, not exactly. It reads that one can add arbitrary files and they are loaded in the numerical order, where files named the same way the /etc version takes precedence. That means, in principle, adding /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-local.hwdb with only my entries should work, right. And indeed, using systemd-hwdb query I *do* get the correct results: $ pwd /etc/udev/hwdb.d $ ls 61-local.hwdb $ cat 61-local.hwdb evdev:input:b0003v045Ep00DB* KEYBOARD_KEY_c022d=pageup KEYBOARD_KEY_c022e=pagedown $ udevadm hwdb --update $ And now: $ systemd-hwdb query evdev:input:b0003v045Ep00DB KEYBOARD_KEY_c022d=pageup KEYBOARD_KEY_c022e=pagedown $ which is correct. But this was the very setup I had in the very beginning, so it seems that either the initramfs is not constructed correctly, or the udev in the initramfs works differently. Or something else I don't undestand - like most of systemd.

When reading the hwdb(7) man page, it only talks about overriding *files* not individual *entries*. So what you want to do might indeed not be supported and it is working as documented. Martin knows a bit more about hwdb though, maybe he can comment here.

I'm asking, because /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb already contains an entry for evdev:input:b0003v045Ep00DB* and I'm not entirely sure if you can override an existing entry by adding it again to a file which is sorted later.
