Details

Description:
mkinitcpio stalls during keymap hook if KEYMAP is not set.

It is caused by command "loadkeys -q -u $KEYMAP -b" in /lib/initcpio/install/keymap, which misses layout parameter if KEYMAP variable in /etc/rc.cont is empty, so loadkeys waits for input from stdin indefinitely.

Additional info:
* package version(s): mkinitcpio-0.5.99.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
Make sure you have empty KEYMAP variable in /etc/rc.conf and keymap hook activated in /etc/mkinicpio.conf. Run mkinicpio -p kernel26.
