[Bug 229732] Re: USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs

[Robstarusa]

I am having this issue as well.  I had a box hang at boot.

No text display (boot messages) and my keyboard doesn't work either
(USB).

Hooking up a usb keyboard and hitting control-d (even though I can't see
anything on the screen) eventually lets Ubuntu boot normally.  I can't
believe this bug is still around!!!

Title:
  USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs

Status in Ubuntu Server papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  In the event of a problem with the boot sequence, or if the break
  option is passed on the kernel command line, the initramfs drops to a
  shell to allow the admin to try and recover, but the USB keyboard
  drivers are not loaded, so if one does not have a PS/2 Keyboard, one
  can not recover the system.
