** Description changed: - Installing quantal server on panda from the 20121013 image, a normal - install with guided partitioning works fine, and keyboard works during - and post-install. + This ended up being two bugs, one is for missing modules in the + initramfs-tools static list (which is true for all arches), and one is + that ARM specifically seems to be getting a wonky initrd. The precise + SRU is targetting only the former issue, so lts-quantal kernels (which + don't build on ARM) can have USB keyboards still functional in their + initrds. + + [IMPACT] + Users with certain USB keyboards and no USB->PS/2 BIOS emulation will no longer have keyboard control in their initrds after upgrading to an lts-quantal kernel. + + [TEST CASE] + If you have the affected hardware, re-run update-initramfs -u both with and without the updated initramfs-tools (with a quantal kernel installed on precise), reboot with "break=bottom" on the command line, and see if you have a keyboard. + + If you don't have the affected hardware, do the above initrd generation, + and compare results, the new one should include hid-logitech-dj and hid- + generic. + + [Regression Potential] + Next to none. initrds may get a tiny bit larger, but not by any meaningful amount. + + [Original description] + Installing quantal server on panda from the 20121013 image, a normal install with guided partitioning works fine, and keyboard works during and post-install. However, if I select lvm+encrypted partitions from the partitioning screen, after rebooting the keyboard does not work for entering the password to unlock the disk, which prevents booting the system.
