i had the same problem. if you have debconf configured not to ask any questions, then it looks to me like console-data switches to the azerty (or whatever it is called) keyboard without asking. it think this is a bug in console-data but i don't have the time to investigate this further. go to /etc/console-tools and look for default.kmap.gz, and possibly a default.kmap.gz.old. copy the old keymap (this is what i did and my console started behaving again), or copy the appropriate keyboard map from /usr/share/keymaps, or run kbdconfig. hope this helps. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. |
