Scanning back through recent commits I am wondering if this one is related; the problem occurs after the kernel is loaded (I can use the keyboard on the KVM perfectly well in the BIOS, etc) and once the system is fully up and running it works as well. It is only if/when geli wants a password *during the boot process* that the keyboard is hosed. r304124 | hselasky | 2016-08-15 03:58:55 -0500 (Mon, 15 Aug 2016) | 7 lines MFC r303765: Keep a reference count on USB keyboard polling to allow recursive cngrab() during a panic for example, similar to what the AT-keyboard driver is doing. Found by: Bruce Evans <[email protected]> The reason this looks possibly-related is that the KVM attaches as a USB keyboard.... and a plugged-in USB keyboard also exhibits the problem during the boot-time process, as shown here from the boot log on one of the impacted machines....
