| |
I have an Ubuntu 12.04 x64 server. The hard disk is encrypted using LVM.
With kernel 3.8.8, the server works fine - I am asked to enter the password and can boot the system.
Any kernel above 3.8, e.g. 3.9/3.11 (I didn't try many) prevents me from entering the password. It seems the attached USB keyboard is no longer being read from or the system is hanging.
I can however switch between the kernels in GRUB - it's only after the kernel has been selected and the password screen is displayed that the system hangs.
I'd like to help in nailing down the bug but I'm at a loss what to do here as I can't get to any console or kernel logs.
Regards, Bjoern
