HELP - not able to login, keyboard map completely wrong...

Just did a full upgrade - and now, my "root" login is magically been replaced with "prry".... what happened??
All the keys have been thrown around randomly it seems....

Kernel upgrade include 2.6.30, but laso 70 other packages....

This is my second day with Arch - not a very good one...

Please take time to read the news and the wiki.
From how you describe your problem it seems that your keyboard layout is wrong.
Read carefully this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … otplugging and this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … figuration

The thing is - I have X installed, but I have yet to start it. I have been struggeling a couple of hours with my wireless - rebooting all the time - with my "no" keyboard layout. It was after the upgrade that everything got mixed up.

But yes - I will take time to read. I am impressed with the documentation. A lot to read up on!
