Subject: [gentoo-user] Strange consolefont error
Date: Sat, 04 Dec 2004 11:28:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41B1916B.8010307@helsinki.fi> (raw)

Every now and then I get the following error on bootup:
	putfont: PIO_FONT: Invalid argument
In effect, (/etc/init.d/)consolefont fails to start properly. I have to 
restart it manually -- and if I do, it works just fine (i.e. it changes 
the font).

What makes it strange, in my opinion, is the `every now and then'-part. 
This error doesn't occur every time; that is, sometimes consolefont 
starts up just fine, no error messages, font changed.

Is this some kind of bug -- if so, what exactly, do you think, is 
`buggy'? Or might it just be some setting somewhere that might be set up 
properly?

This is my font-settings in /etc/rc.conf:
	KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
	EXTENDED_KEYMAPS=
	CONSOLEFONT="iso01.14"
	CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-1_to_uni"
