USB Keyboard not workinng for LUKS password

Hy,

I searched the web for my Prob and the only solution i found wasnt helpful.

After some kernel updates i cant use my USB keyboard to type in my LUKS encryption password.
It works in Grub to select a Kernel and it works after F16 is done booting (I use a Notebook with USB Keyboard so i got a working failsafe Keyboard)

Anyone know a Solution for that?

Thnaky in Advance.

EDIT: Solved it myself afterall. The problem was that the initramdisks didnt load a needed module for my Keyboard. so i added the module to the dracut.conf and did "dracut --force" to overwrite the existing ramdisk and create a new one. It worked.

The Keyboard is a Logitech K750 and the module is "hid_logitech_dj". The Line in dracut.conf looks like this:


# additional kernel modules to the default
add_drivers+="hid_logitech_dj"

Re: USB Keyboard not workinng for LUKS password

I was having the same problem with my laptop, which was resolved by switching USB ports... For some reason the port I was plugged into is enabled in BIOS but not in LUKS. Arrrgh.
