Hello to all of you. So I live in a region that isn't speaking english so I want the font and the keyboard to be set accordingly to my region. sadly, /etc/vconsole.conf doesn't seem to work I added the lines :
FONT=lat1-16
KEYMAP=ca_multi
Before you ask, ca_multi comes from https://aur.archlinux.org/ca_multi.git. I also tried with KEYMAP=cf, which is a keymap installed by default in the system to the same result, my keyboard stays in us layout and the font doesn't change. This works flawlessly under archlinux64 on my other systems. I dunno if i'm doing something wrong. If that helps, using the commands loadkeys and setfont works by themselves.

Ah, so perhaps the vconsole.conf isn't actually read from the filesystem during boot, it's read and loaded from your inticpio instead and never again fettled with by the kernel.
Edit: Could this perhaps be different between archlinux32 and archlinux64?

IIRC, the issue in the linked thread was, that the keymap file could not be inflated during boot in the initsystem. Thus, it was never loaded. The solution was to unzip the keymap file manually.
This was specific to archlinux32, because the original failure was some seccomp or whatnot in gzip during early boot.
