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.
