Details

Description:
When using the new recommended rc.conf syntax (that means without KEYMAP= etc.), the keymap hook throws the following error:
keymap: hook specified, but no KEYMAP found in configuration.
It should instead try to read from /etc/vconsole.conf, as this is the "new" recommended location for KEYMAP=... .
When you try to boot the generated image, you only have english keyboard.
Temporary Fix: Specify KEYMAP=... in rc.conf ("old syntax").

Steps to reproduce:
- Use a rc.conf in the newest syntax/style from last Update
- Use keymap hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
- sudo mkinitcpio -p linux
- see "keymap: hook specified, but no KEYMAP found in configuration"
This task depends upon

Hi, sry I think I somehow deleted my vconsole.conf.
Sry for bothering, it seems that there is no bug at all. I really don't know why vconsole.conf was gone.
