The console font change to a very little font... [SOLVED]

Davigetto · 2007-05-29 15:38:05

On booting, when displaying all messages the font is big.

When arriving to the [DONE] part, the font becomes smaller, while the font was bigger 1 week ago.

It's hard to explain because I can't take screenshots, but if anyone can help me to restore the bigger font...

This is my rc.conf:

I have observed that what I'm explaining happens when loading hook "Keymap". I have erased it from mkinitcpio.conf from HOOKS bar, but it always tries to load this hook, and it outputs: "cannot open es"

What's the matter?

After erasing it from mkinitcpio.conf, rerun mkinitcpio to regenerate the initcpio (if you use the default kernel, you obtain the same result giving a 'pacman -S kernel26' and confirming that you want to install it also if it is already installed).

Anyway, this should not happen at all, you should post a bug.

I have erased the "keymap" hook on mkinitcpio.conf, i have done "pacman -S kernel26", and all was solved. I don't know why loading keymap hook causes this problem while I have always had keymap hook active... I will make another post talking about the keymap hook after posting it as a bug (i have to make me sure that it's a bug...)

Thank you very much, patroclo, you have helped me a lot ^_^

Greetings

EDIT: Well, I have seen that configuring properly rc.conf, adding keymap hook to mkinitcpio.conf, and reinstalling kernel, solves all problems. I can sleep now
