Description of problem: 1. Boot 7.1 classic installer (64 bit tested) 2. Select rescue 3. Select shell 4. issue "loadkeys se" 5. Almost no key is correct! The swedish åäö is on qwe, but they should be on the other side of the keyboard and on two rows. Plus most other keys are scrambled. Workaround: power cycle... I have not tested other layouts, but I suggest all to be tested when working on correcting this.
Assigning to tv for 'drakx-installer-rescue', CC'ing ISO team for info.

Thomas: thank you for the lightning diagnosis.
Ah! Thank you Thomas. Anyhow: I also tried sv but get "cannot open file sv" And the same for sv_se, sv_fi To recover i tried en, en_gb, en_us A few tests: Exist: se, de, nl, fi, fr, es, gr, hu, ru Missing: en, sv, da, no, be (probably more) For pl it say it cannot open include file dvorak.map. Also: # loadkeys -d Cannot find defkeymap.map So some files seem to be missing If we should keep the number low, at least i think en and defkeymap should be included.
Summary: Installer rescue shell loadkeys se layout is a complete mess => Installer rescue shell loadkeys: important keymaps are not foundResolution: INVALID => (none)Severity: normal => enhancementStatus: RESOLVED => REOPENEDPriority: Normal => Low
You don't want "sv": you want "se" which is included. Likewise: - english users want "en" -> "us" - "da" -> "dk" - "no" -> "no-latin1" - "be" -> "be2-latin1" - … Those are the upstream naming… Actually the rescue systems include all mappings listed in keyboard.pm: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/rescue/list.xml?h=18.25#n159

As per description i tried sv, which is wrong. Thomas told it is Saami.
ISO code for languages & keyboard Keyboardrake maps language to keyboard through %lang2keyboard: Samish: 'se' => 'smi or smi_sefi Swedish: 'sv' => 'se, fi or dvorak_se:10 In %keyboards, it maps keyboards to loadkeys layout For Samish, keyboardrake set: "smi" => "no-latin1", "smi_sefi" => "se-latin1", For Swedish, keyboardrake set: 'se' => se-latin1 So you want to run "loadkeys se-latin1" You can check /usr/lib/libDrakX/keyboard.pm for alternatives (dvorak & the like)
Ah, thank you. For us occasional home admins this is a awkward. Would it be possible to add a hint to a list of the language/layouts? And also how to reset to default... "loadkeys -d" can be made working, which seem to need defkeymap.map
