[Bug 1127947] [NEW] keyboard input is not working when mdadm is showing "degraded device" and system will boot after timeout to busybox

[Michael Basse]

Public bug reported:

I am using mdadm to manage a Raid10 volume. One disc is missing at the
moment. When i start the system mdadm is telling me this  and ask me if
i want to boot the degraded raid anyway. The problem i am facing that
the keyboard is not working there. its working in the grub-menu and iin
the busybox but i cant press "y" to say "boot it anyway.

When i press "esc" the black TTY1 is switching to the violet TTY1 but in
none of them the keyboard is working. Tried usb and ps2 keyboard.

i dont know if this is a bug in mdadm or in the general tty window.
