[SOLVED] RC2 @ symbol in top left corner

[rlogiacco]

Ok, I did found the root cause of my issue by adding the rescue option to my cmdline.txt: for some reason my keyboard is not visible so once into rescue mode I was unable to type anything. By using a different USB keyboard I was able to edit the cmdline.txt file removing the rescue option and continue the boot process.

My keyboard is a Cherry G230, I never thought that could be the root cause!

Can I do something to allow my keyboard to be visible at boot time? I thought all keyboards implemenbt a basic serial protocol and then extending it for specific features, but I was definitely wrong.

Alternatively, can I specify a fallback root fs? Or may be add a script that gets automatically executed upon entering the rescue console? Something that checks the presence of the usb external hard drive and eventually switches configuration...
