The only uncommented line in my /etc/conf.d/consolefont is... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
CONSOLEFONT="lat1-10" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and /usr/share/consolefonts/lat1-10.psfu.gz does exist. A couple of |
| 21 |
things to check... |
| 22 |
1) What exactly is error message at bootup? |
| 23 |
2) What does your /etc/conf.d/consolefont file look like? |
| 24 |
