Bug Description
Try these commands on GRUB command line:
insmod at_keyboard
terminal_input at_keyboard console
terminal_input console
Now GRUB doesn't accept any keypress.
Or chainload to another GRUB with at_keyboard active on terminal_input. New GRUB cannot controlled by keyboard, but starts default menuentry after timeout.
Module at_keyboard is important for localisation, e.g. using a german keyboard layout.
summary: |
- GRUB2 freezes after removing at_keyboard + GRUB2 freezes after loading at_keyboard |

Low priority because
- this module is not built-in, and hence cannot be used on secure boot systems, so it's only usable on legacy and custom systems in the first place
- it is an usual end user configuration, given that there is not even a configuration option for it
- it's not necessary for booting the system, unless you have /boot inside LUKS and layout differences matter for the password, but that's again an unusual system configuration
- there is an easy workaround of just typing with ANSI layout in mind
