Hello Mike,
2013/2/2 Michael Hannon <jm_hannon(a)yahoo.com>:
Greetings. I just did a "fedup" upgrade from f17 to f18.
The system is now
up and running, mostly just fine, but I did notice a brief warning message
during boot to the effect that KEYTABLE is deprecated.
I've seen some mention of this on the web, and it appears that a solution
MIGHT be to replace the word KEYTABLE with the word KEYMAP in the appropriate
place or places. In another place I've seen it suggested that there are TWO
changes that are required:
KEYTABLE --> vconsole.keymap
SYSFONT --> vconsole.font
I do see the term KEYTABLE in one place in my /boot partition:
# pwd
/boot
# find . -type f -exec grep -i keytable {} /dev/null \;
./efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf: kernel /vmlinuz-3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 rd.md=0
rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 root=UUID=20ccc8f9-c293-4fba-888d-fd54f476d36a KEYTABLE=us
acpi=off noapic SYSFONT=True rd.luks=0 ro LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rhgb quiet
nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau
.
.
.
It would be easy enough to edit grub.conf to substitute vconsole.keymap (or
KEYMAP?) for KEYTABLE and vconsole.font (or FONT?) for SYSFONT. Is that the
right thing to do? And/or is there anything else that needs to happen?
You need to make the changes in /etc/default/grub, and then update the
Grub configuration. If you make the changes in /boot they will be
overwritten the next time you update the kernel.
So,
1. Make the changes in /etc/default/grub
2. Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf (<--- only UEFI systems)
And that's it!
Greetings,
