Can someone explain how to get the framebuffer vttys to use the same font rpm
distro kernels use by default for framebuffer bootup messages? All rpm distros
AFAIK use the same one. AFAICT, no rpm distros use anything directly
corresponding to Debian's console-setup, and

Actually, what I did was to de-install grub (as referred to by Squeeze,
grub2
but I have only come across
http://wiki.debian.org/GrubTransition as a Debian-specific, -sourced
grub2 instruction.
What I found interesting about this thread is that the OP found a
non-grub2 way of restoring his boot-up look in spite of using grub2...
I assume that he has set "GRUB_

The vga option is deprecated but it works, just add it to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub (then run 'update-grub').

By running "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" I can get a VGA font of
the right point size (as long as what I need
I went back to lilo, which also
supports the vga option. OK, that problem is now "solved". But
setting the font is a problem too. There is a new package in Squeeze

Works for me fine on two sid machines and on my brother's lenny machine.
And it speeds up the boot by a few seconds too (especially with
CONCURRENCY=shell).

The new console-setup from Sid providing uniform console properties to Xorg
and elsewhere places init scripts:
~$ locate console | grep rcS
/etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh

These get run fairly late on the bootup sequence. This is OK but can yield a

Hi All,

Installed the console setup package tonight - ran dpkg-reconfigure, and was

I never actually tried to play around with this myself, but I think the
keymap should be loaded from
/etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz
^^
and it should be possible to customize it; see the comments at the end
of /etc/default/console-setup.

Ok, so I ran

The keymap was not installed, and I got the same problems as usual.
However, I then ran

think it's because I've got console-setup / setupcon loaded. I looked
through the readme for console-setup, but it's not clear to me if I
need to put my custom keymap somewhere special, or if I can just point
to it from a config file. Google points to some conflicting advice,

I have trouble geting linux to understand my keyboard. I want to map a
