Description of problem: Installed updates this morning and upon reboot I was unable to enter my LUKS password due to no keyboard. I am able to use the keyboard to select the previous kernel and boot just fine but if I use the new kernel, I am stuck at the password prompt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.19.3-100 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot and allow kernel 3.19.3-100 to be used Actual results: Unable to type password at password prompt to unlock LUKS encrypted disk. Expected results: Able to enter password as normal. Additional info: I am using a laptop with a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. The keyboard works just fine with the previous Kernel versions and before the Kernel is actually booted. In other words, I can use the wireless keyboard to select the Kernel and to enter boot options. Once Kernel 3.19.3-100 starts to boot, input is no longer available from the wireless device. If I open the laptop, it appears that its physical keyboard does work. Looks like this may have been a problem in the past as well based on BZ-867693.

Indeed, I was affected but that bug and I can still reproduce it in F20 with kernel 3.19.3-100 with a Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard (SK-8855). Other external keyboards did not have this problem, but I have not tried recently.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 20 kernel bugs. Fedora 20 has now been rebased to 3.19.5-100.fc20. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 21, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 21. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Issue is still present with the newer kernel (3.19.5-100). I have also tested using a Logitech wired USB keyboard and mouse connected to a docking station of a Lenovo ThinkPad T540p.
Also FTR, this seems to affect only to some keyboards. Some examples: * Genius wired USB keyboard KB-M220 -> worked * ThinkPad wired USB keyboard SK-8855 -> did not work
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This issue occurs on a Fedora22 with LUKS and a USB-powered "wireless" keyboard on a Desktop. As per a Bug report on Launchpad, this might be due to a module missing during Kernel/initramfs compilation; namely, "ohci_pci" module. I can track some form of this bug back to earlier versions of Fedora with other Bug reports here. Every time it gets closed as "End of Life" and/or "WONTFIX". What, if anything, is being done about this to make it a more permanent solution during installation. This latest occurrence on my Desktop is during/after a fresh installation of the Fedora-Live-Design_suite-x86_64-22-3.iso from getfedora.org.
