[Bug 229732] Re: USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs

[Steve Langasek]

Have uploaded the fix for this to trusty, but managed to use the wrong
changelog syntax.  Here's the changelog entry for the upload:

 initramfs-tools (0.103ubuntu2) trusty; urgency=low
 .
   * Include usbhid in the list of modules we probe in the panic function,
     since we may panic before udev runs and most keyboards are USB these
     days.  Closes: #229732.
   * Add ohci_pci to the list of USB host modules included in the initramfs,
     needed on some systems and not a built-in driver in Ubuntu.
     LP: #1238194.

Title:
  USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs

Status in Ubuntu Server papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  In the event of a problem with the boot sequence, or if the break
  option is passed on the kernel command line, the initramfs drops to a
  shell to allow the admin to try and recover, but the USB keyboard
  drivers are not loaded, so if one does not have a PS/2 Keyboard, one
  can not recover the system.
