Description:   Opened: 2009-10-18 12:32 0000 
I am installing Gentoo on a Mac Mini with a UK mac keyboard.
But when I load the mac-uk keymap, I am unable to continue with installation as
the keyboard no longer works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I am installing Gentoo on a Mac Mini with a UK mac keyboard.

1. Booted into the 20090809 minimal weekly boot cd
2. Kernel boot options = "ppc32 video-radeonfb"
3. Typed: ls /usr/share/keymaps/ppc/all
GOT: list including mac-uk.keymap.gz
4. Typed: loadkeys mac-uk
Actual Results:  
very strange behaviour where most keys didn't do anything, backspace resulted
in a 'e' being typed and return key having no affect whatsoever. :S

Expected Results:  
my keyboard layout to now match

Sorry, should say "mac-uk.map.gz" not "mac-uk.keymap.gz"

I've tried "mac-euro" for now as this works fine, but obviously the layout
isn't quite the same.

Thanks for reporting this issue, assigning to ppc team to take a look --
however it may be hard for them to reproduce, if none of the devs have a UK mac
keyboard...

As all characters (including the alphanumerical ones) cause the problem, you
might be able to set a standard keyboard to this layout and re-create the same
problem? I don't know much about keyboard layouts, but I'm assuming that the
alphanumerical keys have the same codes on all English-based (US/UK) keyboards?
