Bug Description

Hello,

Ever since I upgraded to kernel 3.19.0-30 i can't input the disk password at boot, in order to have the disk decrypted. The workaround it to boot with kernel-3.19.0-28 which works. When booting with 3.19.0-30 whatever I type won't showup. CTRL+ALT+DEL would reboot the machine though.

My machine is a Dell XPS 13" (2015).
