Description Andy Wang 2023-08-03 14:13:15 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
After upgrading to kernel-6.4.7-200.fc38.x86_64 upon initial boot I'm unable to input my disk encryption password using my laptops built-in keyboard.

It works fine when I boot 6.4.6: 
Linux 6.4.6-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jul 24 20:51:12 UTC 2023

It appears that a USB keyboard "may" work (I have a yubikey attached but no other usb keyboard right now but tapping the yubikey sends the yubikey token to the disk encryption password dialog)

It's possible this issue is unique to my device - asus Zenbook S13 OLED UM5302TA model.

I'm not even sure how to debug this or get any kernel messages at this stage of the boot process.

Right this does sound like it is the same issue as those bugs.

The Fedora 6.4.9 kernel update which came out yesterday reverts the changes causing those bugs when going from 6.4.6 > 6.4.7 or 6.4.8 . So if you install the Fedora 6.4.9 kernel update then this issue should be gone.

Confirmed.  install 6.4.9 from updates-testing and the issue is gone. Thank you!!
