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 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
