Bug Description
Binary package hint: console-setup
Hi. This is probably not necessarily a console-setup problem but I really did not know where else to report it. I hope it can be forwarded if necessary. The problem is that after reconfiguring with 'dpkg-reconfigure', running through the options and selecting 'TerminusBoldVGA' for the console font, after a reboot, the font in the console is the standard font and not 'TerminusBoldVGA'.
This could be related to a problem with a recent kernel upgrade because my scsi controller card (an LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875), which normally worked out of the box was no longer recognized in the initrd process of the boot up. I had to add the card's module to the /etc/initramfs-
I'm pretty new at bug reporting because I just switched from debian. Should I report a bug elsewhere? Thanks.

I've seen this myself, and it's reproducible on live CDs, but I haven't figured out what's up yet. I expect it may be due to initramfs changes in Karmic.
In the meantime, you can run 'sudo setupcon' at a console after boot to fix it temporarily.
