Description:
I followed wiki steps to install and I got in troubles because despite customizing vconsole.conf, keyboard map (it) will not correctly set upon reboot.
I investigated and I found that I must follow 2 additional steps: include keymap hook in mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate initrd. These two steps weren't mentioned in wiki (installation steps)... I think that including keymap hook in default mkinitcpio.conf will be a better solution (more in hand to who has to customize keymap and not annoying to english keymap configurations)

What do you think?

Sorry for my english.

Additional info:
* mkinitcpio 24-2
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Start a new installation following wiki steps, create vconsole.conf and reboot.
This task depends upon

It should not be required. What is the status of systemd-vconsole-setup.service when you boot without it?

This is the output of the systemctl command

systemd-vconsole-setup.service - Setup Virtual Console
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:systemd-vconsole-setup.service(8)
man:vconsole.conf(5)

It turns out that is a specific ARCHLINUX32 problem: I reinstalled both and despite output is the same, archlinux32 does not configure keymap. I think I must report the bug on archlinux32.org bug facility, am I right?

Many thanks.
