Hello Michael,

I had this very same phenomenon. The reason in my case was, that the USB driver 
(general or for the keyboard I don't know) wasn't included in the initrd as I 
had used an old PS2 keyboard during installation.

When the installer was about to generate initrd and asked wether to create a 
"generic" ramdisk or to use only the necessary drivers, I chose the latter. 

When later I restarted the machine with my plugged in shiny USB keyboard it 
wouldn't work as you described.

With the old keyboard again I could enter crypt passphrase etc. and start the 
machine. I Plugged in the USB keyboard and recreated the initrd which solved 
the issue for me.

Hope this helps,
Stefan
