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

I am having this issue as well. I had a box hang at boot.
No text display (boot messages) and my keyboard doesn't work either
(USB).
Hooking up a usb keyboard and hitting control-d (even though I can't see
anything on the screen) eventually lets Ubuntu boot normally. I can't
believe this bug
Since bugs #1238194 and #1239306 are now marked as duplicates of this
one: Please make sure that the ohci_pci module is included in the
initramfs by default at some point.

Title:
USB Keyboard drivers not loaded in initramfs
To manage notifications about this bug
This is still valid to this day on Saucy.
Debian supports USB in initramfs via /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy
: MODULES=most or via /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
usbcore
uhci_hcd
ehci_hcd
usbhid
Perhaps one of these options would make a sensible default in this day

USB module loading order: Linux 2.6.27.3's changelog says that Linux
will now warn if ehci isn't loaded before o/uhci. And that it has
always been better to load ehci first. So panic() should load ehci-hcd
first, then try the other two, in case the user works around a problem
and goes on to boot
This is only a problem with break=premount or earlier. break=mount
happens after hal/udev have loaded drivers for everything.
Note that some servers don't _support_ ps/2 keyboards anymore. e.g. I
have a rack of Dell PE1950 machines with a KVM-over-IP that connects to
1 USB port and their VGA
I booted a machine with a USB and a PS/2 keyboard from an i386 Intrepid alpha5
USB drive, with break=premount.
panic() should run (after the modprobe for ps/2 keyboards):
if ! grep -q '^H:.*kbd' /proc/bus/input/devices ; then
# no keyboard? Try USB.
modprobe uhci-hcd
modprobe ohci-hcd
