[*] Setting user font....        [ok]  
 Cannot open file default8x16  
  
 [*] Loading key mappings...  
 Cannot open file windowkeys  
 Error loading key mappings       [!!]

Quoting user wilburpan 
 
Looking at /etc/init.d/keymaps and /etc/init.d/consolefont, you can see that 
these scripts call the programs /usr/bin/loadkeys and /usr/bin/setfont. 
Looking at the man pages for these programs, it appears that these 
programs expect to find data in  
  
Code: 
 
/usr/usr/share/keymaps  
/usr/usr/share/consolefonts  
/usr/usr/share/unimaps  
/usr/usr/share/consoletrans 
 
In my /usr directory, this is all in  
 
Code: 
 
/usr/share/keymaps  
/usr/share/consolefonts  
/usr/share/unimaps  
/usr/share/consoletrans 
 
So I created a bunch of symlinks from /usr/share to /usr/usr/share, and the 
error messages went away. 
 
 
Sounds like a "prefix" problem to me. 

Reproducible: Always

Hey, I'd just like to add that even if you add the symlinks to fix loadkeys' behaviour, it still dies out with a flex parser error when you try a 'loadkeys dvorak'.
