Public bug reported:
This makes it impossible to enter the password for an encrypted root
partition.
To reproduce:
- Attach a USB keyboard (I tried Logitech MK 320 and diNovo)
- In grub, add "break" to the recovery mode kernel line and boot
- You get a busybox prompt, but no functional keyboard
- You do not get disconnect/connect messages when replugging the keyboard
receiver but you do get them when plugging in a USB flash stick
