On a fresh install of Debian Lenny am64 with a 2.6.24 kernel, I
installed kqemu-common and kqemu-source, and built the module and
inserted it into the kernel:
module-assistant auto-install kqemu
modprobe kvm_intel kvm kqemu
I rebooted to make sure /etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules script gets
created, and created the qemu image:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /srv/RedHat32/hda.qcow2 16G
In X11, I then installed the operating system:
kvm -hda /srv/RedHat32/hda.qcow2 -smp 4 -cdrom
/srv/rhel-5.2-server-i386-dvd.iso -boot d -m 2000
During the installation process, I discovered the keyboard had been
remapped to something outlandish:
ESC is / and backtick m. The first seven numbers spell out mertyiu[. 8
is the Enter key, and 0 Ctrl.
In the next row, e is DEL and r is TAB. The \ key is SHIFT. CAPSLOCK is space.
In short, a crazy mapping. It's not a particular keyboard -- I tried
with a couple of Mac keyboards, on different terminals, both locally
and remotely over x11 through ssh, and an IBM ps/2 keyboard -- the
mapping was consistent. The installation went fine, once I used 8 for
ENTER and r for TAB. The mapping is now in force for my installed
version of RedHat 32-bit. I see no other problems.
Is this a known problem? Fixes or workarounds?
I should perhaps mention it's not a problem with my xorg installation,
which has a normal (us) keyboard mapping, locale en_US and
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
