Everything is fine whent booted.

The system asks for the passphrase.
Then it gives up (because of the "wrong" passphrase.

Then the system asks to press ENTER to continue the boot process.
It asks then again the passphrase.

When I enter the passphrase, it boots normally.

Ascii both uppercase and lowercase and semi-columns (";")

It is a French keymap (basically azerty) so it has dead keys but not
used for the password. An other features on the upper row is that
numéric keys are shifted (the opposite of us keyboards)
