/sbin/setsysfont error thrown.
 

Okay, here's my error from /var/log/boot.log:

Dec 18 21:41:53 DaClown keytable: utf8: No such file or directory

Checked Google to no avail. Then, I traced the boot process. Checked keytable which runs loadkeys and setsysfont.

The variable $SYSFONT =
The variable $SYSFONTACM =
I checked set via bash and got nothing on these two???
If you see anything I can fix, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

/sbin/setsysfont is below. The line that throws an error is emboldened.

[marc@DaClown marc]$ cat /sbin/setsysfont
#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/i18n
fi

case "$LANG" in
*.utf8|*.UTF-8)
exec unicode_start $SYSFONT $SYSFONTACM
;;
esac

if [ -x /bin/consolechars -o -x /usr/bin/consolechars ]; then
if [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
ARGS=$SYSFONT
if [ -n "$UNIMAP" ]; then
ARGS="$ARGS --sfm $UNIMAP"
fi
if [ -n "$SYSFONTACM" ]; then
ARGS="$ARGS --acm $SYSFONTACM"
fi
consolechars -f $ARGS
fi
elif [ -x /bin/setfont ]; then
if [ -n "$SYSFONT" -a -n "$UNIMAP" ]; then
/bin/setfont $SYSFONT -u $UNIMAP
elif [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
/bin/setfont $SYSFONT
# else
# /bin/setfont
fi
else
echo $"can't set font"
exit 1
fi

exit 0

Oky. The problem is it's not finding any font files...

the error isn't the emoldened one, it's the one before it - where it says 'case $LANG in *.utf8 blah..

Check your LANG setting. You should see something like this :

# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

depending on your location, of course.

After which you can check for your particular location's font tables.

Slick.

Okay, here's what I've done to correct the problem: Opened /etc/sysconfig/i18n (which is where it gets those variables):
And replaced it with:
That seems to work. Then, I checked one of my other computers and replaced the script above with a copy from another RH8 machine:
No problems from a terminal window. The next time I drop out of X, I'll find out if it worked for sure.

I think this is an Anaconda(RH installer) issue with Psyche.

I had problems with this too, but in my man pages.
