Since a few kernels, I lost the ability to use my USB keyboard in initramfs (crypt setup prompt) while it works in grub's menu. I'm running the amd64 version of the *standard* Precise kernel (not a Quantal backport). Testing the -proposed initramfs-tools version 0.99ubuntu13.1 didn't help but this bug set me on the right track for a workaround. All I needed to do is to add the following to usbhid, hid and mac_hid to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and update my initrd.

Should I open a new bug since my problem does not involve a Quantal kernel?
