Cannot load UK kmap any more
« on: January 05, 2011, 11:18:18 AM »
Hi,

Some time ago I built a custom Live disc using TC 3.3 with some extensions loaded outside of initrd.  Things worked OK, but I was unable to eject the CD because the extensions outside initrd were holding the CD mounted.  I therefore produced a newer version with all extensions inside initrd, which did what I wanted.

However, at about the same time the loading of the UK kmap seems to have stopped working and I've been scratching my head for some time to work out what is going on.

In all versions, kmaps.tcz was loaded inside initrd in the /opt/tce/optional directory and the bootcode was set to kmap=uk.  The older ones work and the newer ones don't.  Some of the older ones were built with TC 3.3 and some with 3.4, so I'm discounting that at the moment.

What I have noticed is that the uk.kmap is in usr/share/kmap/qwerty in the later versions and in /usr/share/kmap in ones that work.  Since I never influenced this (AFAIK) I'm wondring what has happened and is this significant?
