I recently upgraded my trusty kernel from 3.16 to 3.19, and got hit with
this bug with a logitech wireless keyboard.  Seems all the kernel builds
are omitting critical hid drivers in the initrd, yet again.  Add in the
fact my current mobo bios just simply wouldn't let grub catch my shift
to break the boot menu to single mode.  Very ugly, very not happy day.

Since I've gone to 4.4 kernel, and see the same issue with it, so it
seems persistent and unfixed still at least on trusty repos.  With 4.4,
at least wired keyboard works, so I've been just keeping a second one
around until I got to hunt for this more.

The recovery is obviously not pretty, and this has happened a few times
I remember, as I've used luks since ~2008.  It would be extremely nice
if upstream or at least the vendor packagers run regression tests for
this LUKS use case in particular formulated to avoid stranding people at
their disk unlock menus and figuring out how to make a boot disk without
the system they were just using.
