Note that while this particular bug, about missing ohci-pci in the initramfs, is fixed in Ubuntu 15.04 another similar bug, missing xhci- pci, is still present. The debian bug report about, and fix for, missing xhci-pci is here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773250
If you are experiencing these symptoms on Ubuntu 15.04 (USB keyboard working in installed and Live systems, but not debian-installer / early boot initramfs), you are probably hitting the xhci-pci bug. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #773250 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773250 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244176 Title: Server 13.10 Install Fails with USB Keyboard (Appears to Hang) Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Saucy: Invalid Status in linux source package in Saucy: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in initramfs-tools source package in Utopic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Utopic: Fix Released Bug description: A fresh install of Server 13.10 on old hardware fails when a USB keyboard is present.
