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

 

I've found out that when the -extra package is installed for that
kernel, the hid modules are correctly loaded! So it's not a dependency
but it is necessary.

Furthermore, the video mode is not set correctly when -extra is missing.

** Description changed:

  This bug might either be in kernel or initramfs-tools.
  
  - linux-image-extra-3.13.0-35-generic correctly loads hid-generic and does not need it to be specified to initramfs-tools
- - linux-image-extra-3.13.0-36-generic works fine if "hid hid-generic usbhid" are specified to initramfs-tools
+ - linux-image-extra-3.13.0-36-generic works fine if "hid hid-generic usbhid" are specified to initramfs-tools AND the -extra package is installed
+ - linux-image-extra-3.13.0-37-generic works fine if "hid hid-generic usbhid" are specified to initramfs-tools AND the -extra package is installed
+
