Details
Description:
After upgrade to kernel 4.19.x my initramfs generated via mkinitcpio no longer contains a working keymap matching my physical keyboard. The initramfs' for both linux-hardened (4.18.20) and linux-lts (4.14.82) do have working keymaps even in the initramfs, generated from the same mkinitcpio.conf. I need the keymap in the initramfs because I boot off of an encrypted lvm, so if the keymap matches my physical keyboard, then muscle memory can do the typing for me. But since the keymap in the 4.19.2 initramfs is the US one, I now have to think in order to type in my passphrase. Once I get to GDM, the keymapping works again, it's just the plymouth-login that does not work. Additional info: * package version(s) mkinitcpio 25-1 linux-4.19.2 (does not work) linux-hardened-4.18.20 (works) linux-lts-4.14.82 (works) plymouth-git * config and/or log files etc. mkinitcpio.conf attached Steps to reproduce: Install kernel linux-4.19.2 generate initramfs reboot |

I'll take this over to the AUR/plymouth's bugtracker.
Sorry for wasting your time!
