I was aslo stuck for months with kernel 3.19.0-28 on Ubuntu 15.04 but I
found a work around that worked for me:
- open /etc/default/grub
- Delete the "quiet splash" value from the line beginning with
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. The line should look like
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
- save your changes and run sudo update-grub to update the grub configuration
When you restart, the splash screen is disabled leaving only the text
console prompting you for your password. My keyboard seems to work using
the console but not using the splash screen. Hope this'll help some of
you.
This is only a workaround though, so this issue should definitely be
investigated further.

Title:
keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions
ubuntu 13.10 saucy
Status in initramfs-tools:
New
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released

Status in initramfs-tools source package in Saucy:

Bug description:
[Justification]
With the kernel in 13.10, some systems use a different USB host driver than
previously. Failing to include this driver in the initramfs causes regressions
for users who need to interact with the system in early boot using a USB
keyboard, such as users with an encrypted root filesystem. Such systems are
not bootable with this host driver missing.
[Test case]
1. On an affected system, reboot to a kernel from 13.04.
2. Install the initramfs-tools package from -proposed.
3. Reboot to the kernel from 13.10.
4. Verify that you are able to type your passphrase at the prompt in the
initramfs.
[Regression potential]
Minimal. The update-initramfs script will ignore missing modules (such as
the many other modules in the list which are built-ins), and the only change
made is to copy the module into the initramfs: it will only be loaded in the
initramfs if udev determines it's needed, just as it would load it after
switching to the root filesystem.
Is the same problem as here but in the new ubuntu 13.10 saucy

I just can't use (i can install) a encrypted partition because when is
time to introduce the password to unlock partition keyboard is not
working.
I don't know how to edit a bug to report it afects other version of
ubuntu so i created this new bug...
