/etc/init.d/keymaps has been enabling "ASCII mode" for some time now, and I keep removing it again, because it breaks the console. I can no longer input German umlauts. The console was ISO-8859-1 forever, and now Gentoo breaks it for no good reason at all. Enabling UTF-8 is one thing, breaking things for everyone else is another. Please revert this change so I can email again in my native language from my console. Currently, there is no way to keep this from happening at reboot, except editing the boot scripts. What kind of terrorist hates Europe enough to do this?
lack of any sort of info helps no one for starters, you neglected to post `emerge info` next, keymaps enables ASCII or UTF8 mode based upon *your* settings ... if you set UNICODE in /etc/rc.conf, then keymaps should enable UTF8 mode, otherwise it enables ASCII mode finally, *what* change ? you provide no reference as to when this stopped working, so there's no way to know what you could possibly be talking about
