Same here: upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 from 14.04. Keyboard does not work
after soft reboot. After a hard reboot/power cycle, must use recovery
boot option.

As per information in this thread, I checked /etc/initramfs-
tools/modules - it contains only #comments.

Using nvidia driver 367.35.

Have just applied the "nosplash" fix suggested by Adam Felson and am
about to reboot.

Title:
  keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions
  ubuntu 13.10 saucy

Status in initramfs-tools:
  New
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Justification]
  With the kernel in 13.10, some systems use a different USB host driver than 
previously.  Failing to include this driver in the initramfs causes regressions 
for users who need to interact with the system in early boot using a USB 
keyboard, such as users with an encrypted root filesystem.  Such systems are 
not bootable with this host driver missing.

  [Test case]
  1. On an affected system, reboot to a kernel from 13.04.
  2. Install the initramfs-tools package from -proposed.
  3. Reboot to the kernel from 13.10.
  4. Verify that you are able to type your passphrase at the prompt in the 
initramfs.

  [Regression potential]
  Minimal.  The update-initramfs script will ignore missing modules (such as 
the many other modules in the list which are built-ins), and the only change 
made is to copy the module into the initramfs: it will only be loaded in the 
initramfs if udev determines it's needed, just as it would load it after 
switching to the root filesystem.

  
  Is the same problem as here but in the new ubuntu 13.10 saucy

  I just can't use (i can install) a encrypted partition because when is
  time to introduce the password to unlock partition keyboard is not
  working.

  I don't know how to edit a bug to report it afects other version of
  ubuntu so i created this new bug...
