@rodsmith there is a load of bugs like this, I am going to compile the kernel myself as you did to fix the problem.

It turns out there's a new module in linux-3.5.0-* called "hid_generic" that needs to be included in the initrd so that USB keyboards can be used during bootstrapping. The auto_add_modules() function in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook- functions from the Quantal version of initramfs-tools copies the module to the initramfs; see bug #1017991 and <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/108712220/initramfs- tools_0.103ubuntu0_0.103ubuntu0.1.diff.gz>. Perhaps initramfs-tools should be backported to the xorg-edgers PPA. I worked around the problem by adding "hid_generic" to /etc/initramfs- tools/modules, but I don't know if this will cause problems if I switch back to a linux-3.2.0-* kernel (which doesn't have this module). $ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 3.5.0-15.22-generic 3.5.4 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1054292/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
