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

 

** Description changed:

- This bug might either be in kernel or initramfs-tools.
+ This bug might either be in the kernel extra package or initramfs-tools,
+ can't decide.
  
- - 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 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
+ I have tested all following version of the kernel:
  
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-36-generic
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic
+ 
+ In all of them, if the corresponding -extra package is not installed
+ then USB keyboard will not work (and display mode will also not be set
+ correctly, although it's a separate issue).
+ 
+ I have narrowed down the issue to the fact that hid, hid-generic and
+ usbhid modules are missing and thus not loaded.

Title:
  HID USB keyboards not working in initramfs

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug might either be in the kernel extra package or initramfs-
  tools, can't decide.

  I have tested all following version of the kernel:

  - linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic
  - linux-image-3.13.0-36-generic
  - linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic
  - linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic
  - linux-image-3.13.0-40-generic
  - linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic

  In all of them, if the corresponding -extra package is not installed
  then USB keyboard will not work (and display mode will also not be set
  correctly, although it's a separate issue).

  I have narrowed down the issue to the fact that hid, hid-generic and
  usbhid modules are missing and thus not loaded.
