I am seeing this same behaviour on my system. Kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. I have to connect a PS2 keyboard to type the passphrase - USB devices do not appear to work at this stage of the boot.
This does not seem to happen if I have USB devices connected when the initrd is generated - however this is a headless machine and a USB keyboard is not connected most of the time. This indicates that there is a module that needs to be loaded. It appears my initramfs-tools configuration is set as MODULES=dep. I'd suggest that, when LUKS is in use, this should always include USB input modules (if not include it all the time) if the system has USB controllers present. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
