.../usr/bin/loadkeys tool fails...

"poettering commented 30 minutes ago
Ah, this reveals it. It's not actually vconsole at fault here, but your
/usr/bin/loadkeys tool fails with a failure exit code (and we invoke that, and
propagate the exit code).

The precise command we invoke is this:

/usr/bin/loadkeys -q -C /dev/tty1 -u us

Which results in a tonload "Invalid argument" messages from loadkeys. Does it
work if you invoke it locally from a shell?

It appears to me you should contact your distro for help around this, as it's
the kbd package at fault here, not systemd/vconsole"



Please see this thread for the error as reported by systemd (above):
