Bug#682340: USB keyboard unavailable for crypto with Linux 3.5
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107
Severity: normal
When upgrading to Linux 3.5, USB keyboards don’t work anymore because
the usbhid module has been renamed to hid-generic and the new module is
not included in the initramfs.
Using the following workaround, I can enter my crypto passphrase when
booting:
echo 'hid_generic' >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
(Under the assumption that you have MODULES=most in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf already. Otherwise you should also
add usbcore, uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd.)
Note that I’m aware of the fact that we don’t have 3.5 in Debian yet
officially. This is a heads-up for the initramfs-tools maintainers and
other users. Maybe there is a way to fix this now already so that people
have a pleasant experience switching to 3.5 :-).
