[solved] dm-crypt luks passphrase has to be typed in qwerty

Hi all.

I've got a little but very annoying problem with my new arch setup.
I've set up a dm crypt volume this way :

created partition /dev/sda7
cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-xts-plain -s 256 /dev/sda7
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 home_crypt
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/home_crypt
mount /dev/mapper/home_crypt /home

and made the changes permanent via fstab and crypttab. I did it after having set my keyboard and locale in the newly installed system so i'm sure about the passphrase I typed.

but when the system starts and asks me the passphrase for sda7, I have to type it by replacing the letters on my (french) keyboard by their qwerty equivalents. Example : "mypassword" becomes ",ypqsszord". Any idea to use french keyboard from the start ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my sometimes hesitating english.

include the keymap hook on your initcpio so it gets loaded sooner.
