Console keyboard weirdness



We just had some goofy power-cycling problems here at work this morning,
which led to some of our machines going down and back up an
indeterminate number of times, sometimes during fsck'ing.  Everything
seems fine, fortunately, except for some strangeness with my system's
keyboard mappings--but only in console mode.  Things work fine in X.

The symptoms are that a few choice keys are swapped.  The q & a keys
were backwards, as were the z & w and some others.  The number keys and
punctuation keys were jumbled, too.  But 80% of the alphanumeric keys
were correct.  But like I said, everything works fine in X.

Anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting this?  I don't know much
about tty keymappings.

John
