[Bug 1412077] Re: USB keyboard not working in initramfs (hid issue)

 

I tried adding these modules:

ehci_pci
usbcore
usb_common
xhci_hcd
uhci_hcd
ehci_hcd
ohci_hcd
usbhid

Same result.

Would it be possible to have verbose errors output when initramfs-tools
fails at loading some module? Silent failure is evil.

Title:
  USB keyboard not working in initramfs (hid issue)

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug might either be in kernel or initramfs-tools.

  Known good kernels:
  - linux-image-extra-3.13.0-35-generic
  - linux-image-extra-3.13.0-36-generic

  All other subsequent versions (including latest linux-image-
  extra-3.13.0-44-generic) are affected by this issue.

  Basically the hid modules (hid, hid-generic and usbhid) are not loaded
  and this makes the keyboard impossible to use in any initramfs CLI
  program that requires user input.

  I have tried to force the usage of this module, but even with modprobe
  it fails for reasons unknown to me.
