Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Both a Cherry and a Logitech keyboard I own cannot be used at early boot time
unless one also adds the hid-cherry / the hid-logitech module to the initramfs.
The attached patch adds those two modules to hook-functions.
For the Cherry keyboard, kernels up to 2.6.32-3 are not affected, from 2.6.32-5
(squeeze default) onwards all tested kernels were affected. Didn't do detailed
checks for the Logitech keyboard.
The used devices that exhibit this problem are:
ID 046d:c30a Logitech, Inc. iTouch Composite
ID 046a:0023 Cherry GmbH CyMotion Master Linux Keyboard
Severity level important, since this makes booting with encrypted root
partition impossible using those keyboards.
