[Bug 1412077] Re: HID USB keyboards not working in initramfs

 

** Description changed:

  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-3.13.0-41-generic
+ - linux-image-3.13.0-43-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).
+ In all of them except latest (-44), if the corresponding -extra package
+ is not installed then USBs 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.

- NOTE: on linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic keyboard does not work not even
- when the -extra package is installed
