genkernel does not add any keyboard driver modules in the initramfs, so when for example AT kbd support is compiled as module and not included in the kernel, it is not added in the initramfs. This way if using keymap switch, luks partition etc, the keyboard doesn't work in early userspace. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make the atkbd driver to be compiled as module (using genkernel with the option --do-keymap-auto) 2. Reboot and when prompted for a keymap, try using the keyboard Actual Results: The keyboard doesn't work. Expected Results: If atkbd driver is compiled in kernel (not as module and with genkernel option --do-keymap-auto), the keyboard works.
BTW same goes for the crypt modules that cryptsetup uses by default - cbc,aes,sha256. This way luks becomes unusable in early userspace too. There should be support for ext4 module too.
For the record this bug was opened before the release of genkernel 3.4.10.908. PhobosK, please test with genkernel-9999 and report keyboard related issues here. For issues related to crypto or ext4 please open dedicated bugs as needed, so we can properly traclk them in Bugzilla. Thanks! In case I do not hear anything in the next two weeks, I may close this bug. This is not meant to shut you up but rather a mean to not ensure we don't drown in bugs that are not bugging anyone anymore today.
