# 9.4. SuSE

1. In `/etc/init.d/kbd`, add this line in the very beginning of the file:

       KBD_TTY="tty0 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 tty7"

   After modifications:

       # The variable NON_SUSE_KERNEL determines whether we need to chvt
       # to a console before some console settings apply.
       # We have no magic to find out about this (at boot time), so we

       # into /etc/sysconfig/console

       KBD_TTY="tty0 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 tty7"
       KTABLE=${KEYTABLE%.map*}
       KTABLE=${KTABLE##*/}
       #
       # first search the wanted keytable.

       if [ $MACHINE = ppc -o $MACHINE = ppc64 ]; then
               test -f /proc/cpuinfo || mount -n -t proc proc /proc 2>/dev/null
               while read line; do
       ......
       ......

2. Hardware scans sometimes cause problems.

   Recommended: disable. If you have to install new hardware and want to use this service, boot with standard kernel and start it manually.
