[Bug 1239306] Re: USB keyboard does not work in the pre-boot environment

[Jacob Nielsen]

Adding the module ohci_pci (and only that) to /etc/initramfs-
tools/modules and updating fixed it in my case.

Title:
  USB keyboard does not work in the pre-boot environment

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This makes it impossible to enter the password for an encrypted root
  partition.

  To reproduce:

  - Attach a USB keyboard (I tried Logitech MK 320 and diNovo)
  - In grub, add "break" to the recovery mode kernel line and boot
  - You get a busybox prompt, but no functional keyboard
  - You do not get disconnect/connect messages when replugging the keyboard receiver but you do get them when plugging in a USB flash stick
