Initscripts 2011.02.1-1

Question

Hi all,
I can't seem to set the locale (pt-PT) in all virtual consoles with the latest iniscripts version.
Read the discussion about the DAEMON_LOCALE variable  but not sure how it works. Chose the default "no" under /etc/rc.conf
I had to fallback to iniscripts 2010.07-2 in order to get things running properly.
Any tips/ideas on this?

Hi all,
Ok, had the opportunity to test, by installing initscripts 2011.02.1-1. Doesn't work.
Below, my rc.conf:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
# in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
LOCALE="pt_PT.utf8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Lisbon"
KEYMAP="pt-latin9 compose.latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="lat9v-16"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
# HARDWARE
# MOD_AUTOLOAD: Allow autoloading of modules at boot and when needed
# MOD_BLACKLIST: Prevent udev from loading these modules
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Prefix with a ! to blacklist.
# NOTE: Use of 'MOD_BLACKLIST' is deprecated. Please use ! in the MODULES array.
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(powernow-k8 !snd_pcm_oss !snd_seq_oss)
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"
# NETWORKING
# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
HOSTNAME="stream"
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
# DHCP: Set your interface to "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
# Wireless: See network profiles below
#Static IP example
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0"
WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0"
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network.d
# This now requires the netcfg package
# NETWORKS=()
# DAEMONS
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
SPLASH="splashy"
# Desabilitados: !net-profiles, !network, !sensors
DAEMONS=(acpid syslog-ng dbus cpufreq smartd alsa net-auto-wired net-auto-wireless dnsmasq iptables crond laptop-script)
The variable Lang seems to be correctly set, the problem seems the keyboard configuration.
Splashy is killed during the boot process.
I'll disable it to see what's happening.
But this is the error that made me switch back to initscripts 2010.07-02.
Any ideas on this regard?
