Thanks for confirming I am not going crazy (: I've been googling around
to see if USB is a non-free firmware element and from what I can tell
since loading firmware via USB seems to be the recommended way to load
non-free drivers I doubt this is a licensing issue. From what I've read
it appears intel and a few others gave USB 100% license free. Sooo is
this just an overlooked driver from the release?
Cheers,
Mike

Hello All,
I've run this test both on Hyper-V VM install and a dedicated hardware install
using a Dell R210ii, and the results are the same. If I do a new install using
ASCII and use the default full disk encryption with LVM option - everything
goes good, until the initial first boot. Upon boot up no matter what I do key
presses don't register and no way to unlock the disk. I am using a USB
keyboard, and I’ve tried a couple different models and the keyboard and configs
i’m using have been fine going as far back as Ubuntu 12.04.
I will try this with a legacy PS2 device if I can track one down this week, but
my guess is no USB support from the busybox side.
Cheers,
Mike

Hello Michael,
I had this very same phenomenon. The reason in my case was, that the USB driver
(general or for the keyboard I don't know) wasn't included in the initrd as I
had used an old PS2 keyboard during installation.
When the installer was about to generate initrd and asked wether to create a
"generic" ramdisk or to use only the necessary drivers, I chose the latter.
When later I restarted the machine with my plugged in shiny USB keyboard it
wouldn't work as you described.
With the old keyboard again I could enter crypt passphrase etc. and start the
machine. I Plugged in the USB keyboard and recreated the initrd which solved
the issue for me.
Hope this helps,
Stefan
