descending3rds, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.5
to 3.13 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed
immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited
analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Keyboard does not respond/scrambled video

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  Release:        14.04
  Kernel 3.13.0-48-generic

  I expected to be apple to boot to the password prompt for my encrypted root (and beyond) with correct graphics.
  Instead I found that my keyboard was not recognised after grub, so I am not able to decrypt my root or login 

  More detailed explanation:

  I have Ubuntu installed on my 17'' core-duo intel imac, with an encrypted root partition.
  Version 12.04 with kernel 3.5.0-17-generic worked ok, but I updated to the LTS version 14.04.
  The system now freezes before asking for my encryption password when booting (I am using EFI with grub2)
  with my old kernel (3.5.0-17-generic) and with no args on the kernel command line. If I put nomodeset the boot
  progresses to the encryption password and I can successfully login, however the video is completely scrambled (I literally cannot
  make out anything). Having tried many ways to fix the video, I tried the latest kernel (3.13.0-48-generic). In this case
  the boot gets to the password and the graphics appear to be ok, but the keyboard/mouse do not respond. Again I tried many fixes, unsuccesfully. I installed the extras so as to have usbhid, mac_hid etc, and found that the behaviour now reverted precisely to that outlined above for 3.5.0-17-generic; that is scrambled graphics but successful login (with nomodeset), and freezing before
  reaching the password prompt (without nomodeset).
  I tried manually adding only the hid modules to my initrd.img-3.13.0-48-generic built prior to install of extra, but found graphics again ok but still no keyboard !

  This report was made via a ssh session after booting with the
  scrambled video.
