I'm back to dinit-rc 0.4.2-1, I guess I will wait for next update for now.

I honestly don't know what triggered this.

What if you download dinit-rc-0.4.4 manually, extract it in /tmp/dinit-rc, and run sudo /bin/sh -x /tmp/dinit-rc/usr/lib/dinit/vconsole keyboard?

EDIT: Also, I'm pushing dinit-rc-0.4.5 (here's the commit) so that even if early-keyboard.target and early-console.target fails, the boot process isn't interrupted. Wait a bit since it's on the queue right now, otherwise just download the PKGBUILD, makepkg and test it. That way we can narrow down the cause.

Further edit: @toepie and @omnigenous, I'm merging your threads since it deals with the same problem.

Here's the output of that command with 0.4.4:
Code: [Select]
/bin/sh -x /tmp/vconsole keyboard
+ '[' -r /etc/vconsole.conf ']'
+ . /etc/vconsole.conf
+ '[' -r /proc/cmdline ']'
++ cat /proc/cmdline

And here's with 0.4.2:
Code: [Select]
/bin/sh -x /tmp/vconsole keyboard
+ '[' -r /etc/vconsole.conf ']'

+ case "$2" in

And here's the diff between 0.4.2 and 0.4.4
Code: [Select]

It seems that it just skipped the case statement in 0.4.2 because $2 is always empty but in 0.4.3 it was changed to $1 like it should be but there's something going wrong in the case statement?

From your 0.4.4 quote, since your /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAPS= is empty, it shouldn't even execute anything since in my case it'll look like this:

Code: [Select]
+ case "$1" in
+ '[' -n us ']'
+ loadkeys -q -u us

What about dinit-rc-0.4.5? I've changed the type of deps of both of the keyboard and console services to soft depend so even if it fails it keeps booting.

EDIT: Actually, disregard everything above. I'm an idiot. Will push a definite fix.

Further edit: Pushed a definite fix, it's really simple fix but can't believe I missed use cases. dinit-rc-0.4.6 should fix it all. Apologies for the inconvenience.

@konimex Well that was quick! Anyway kinda hilarious that a bug in 0.4.2 was keeping that buggy line from being executed XD
