Description of problem: When trying to boot the kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 kernel any usb keyboard is deactivated during prompt for luks passphrase so no passphrase can be given. Analog keyboards still work and in the previous versions (all up to kernel-3.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64) my usb keyboards were available during boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install kernel-3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64 on a machine with luks partitions 2. reboot 3. try to enter passphrase via a usb connected keyboard Actual results: USB keyboard is not available, not even LEDs like Numlock work. Expected results: USB keyboard should function normally. Additional info: Funny thing is that the keyboard was available in grub2 menu.
The problem still exists in kernel 3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64.
The problem is still not fixed in 3.2.9-1.fc16. At present I'm forced to stick with 3.1.9-1.fc16, as that is the last one that allowed me to enter the luks passphrase. Is anybody working on this? I see the bug still listed as NEW, even though it is a high severity bug - you can't boot the system because of it. Is there a known solution to it? Thanx.
The problem still exists in kernel 3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64.
3.3.0-4.fc16 still no go.
does ctrl + alt + del works? It might not be the same issue, but with F16 i had to remove 'rhgb' and 'quiet' from the command line, otherwise luks never accepted the password sometimes... No problems since i removed those. I never found any debug info, hitting ESC cleared the screen... So i did not report anything because i give up in absence of any possible debug info... It is likely that my issue is different.
* kernel 3.3.2-1.fc16: no go * tried with and without "quiet rhgb" - keyboard never worked (ctrl-alt-del also doesn't work and i have to user the power button) * for completeness, here is my current /etc/default/grub: GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true # GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console" # GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=9600" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet rhgb" # GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true"
I moved to F17 last week and the problem does not occur for me there using kernel 3.3.4-4.fc17.x86_64.
