This is only needed on systems where initramfs.conf(5) sets KEYMAP="y", but maybe it's not so easy to determine as mkinitramfs *sources* /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/*, as well as /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/*, and the ‘KEYMAP’ variable can be set in any of these. cryptsetup-initramfs' own /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/cryptsetup sets it for instance (override settings in /etc/initramfs-tools). > From <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880271> it looks as > though Fedora uses a kernel command-line parameter for this, which > can be reconfigured by altering the bootloader (grub) configuration. The initramfs-tools maintainers will correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK, for that to work the set of keymap(s) to choose from needs to be copied to the initramfs image. At init-top stage we can't rely on any device holding data from the main the system (/boot, /, /etc, etc.) to be even present, let alone unlocked or mounted. -- Guilhem.
