Dear Maintainer, As reported in the Kali Linux bug tracker, it's not possible to type the LUKS password, in case of full disk encryption, in Gen2 Hyper-V virtual machine. This is due to missing modules. The original bug is at https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=7846, and I'll quote the bits that are relevant: > Because Generation 2 virtual machines in Hyper-V are presented with a > minimal set of EFI hardware, the kernel module "hyperv_keyboard" must > be present to interact with the console keyboard. On systems with disk > encryption, the user will be prompted for the key to decrypt the disk, > but cannot enter the password because no keyboard driver is present. > > [...] > > This module *is* present when the grub menu is presented and later > when the kernel is fully loaded. FYI, if some mechanism requires a > mouse or touch, the hid_hyperv module will also be needed. This issue also affects Debian, as discussed in: <https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=131468> This issue was also reported in the Ubuntu tracker, back in 2016: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1567107> It was fixed in Ubuntu, but the changes never made it to Debian. Please find a merge request at: <https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/69> Thanks, Arnaud
