[...] > Any clues welcome Hi, I have experienced something similar, so it does not sound weird to me. So my solution to my similar problem, might be a useful clue for you :) I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop [1] whose default keyboard rate settings cause manual typing of the cryptsetup password entry in the initrd environment to fail more often than not. A very annoying situation. I fix this situation by causing /sbin/kbdrate to run inside the initrd environment, before the cryptsetup password entry occurs. A while ago I wrote an email message about how I do that here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/01/msg00105.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/01/msg00106.html Maybe this method can help you with your encrypted ZFS password entry, I don't know.
