I recently had a hard drive failure which resulted in my system having a corrupted /var. I removed /var and recreated it from backups, however now i seem to have a unique problem: when I log into the console the backspace and ESC keys do not function correctly. Both keys just result in advancing the cursor. Strangely, if I boot into the rescue.target, the keys work correctly.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried rebuilding the ramdisk? It usually helps in these cases. Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I tried re-running mkinitcpio, not because I thought it might help, but because my /var was originally on an lvm2 volume and now it is back on the same filesystem as / and I thought I’d remove lvm2 from the HOOKS. Unfortunately, it didn’t help. Thanks, Mike
