[gentoo-embedded] initramfs - kbd_mode: can't open console

[gentoo-embedded] initramfs - kbd_mode: can't open console

[Markus Rothe]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 707 bytes --]

Hello,

I built a kernel image containing an initramfs based on busybox, openrc and
stuff.  It works fairly well, except one small error I do not understand.
While /etc/init.d/keymaps starts I'm getting the following error:

kbd_mode: can't open console

Please see the attached output for a full listing of the boot process and a
run of "/etc/init.d/keymaps -d restart" (debug output).

Might the problem be, that there is no graphics cards attached to this device?
Although it boots without error, if I run the full Gentoo installation.  It's
a Genesi Efika ([1]) by the way. 

Does anybody know what's causing this error?

Regards,

-markus
