This sounds like the initramfs doesn't have the appropriate modules
built into it.
I suspect that your /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf has MODULES=dep.
You should try changing that to MODULES=most; and then rebuild the
initramfs using something like:
update-initramfs -vu;
This should provide information on the modules that are being added to
the initramfs, which should include the lvm modules and the ehci
modules. [The missing ehci/ohci modules are likely what is causing your
USB keyboard to not work.]

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing
that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
