Unable to enter passphrase at LUKS decrypt prompt after upgrading

Cosirli · 2025-03-02 09:18:03

Hi, Arch community. I am new to Arch as well as this forum and I got stuck after upgrading: I cannot enter passphrase to decipher my disks at the LUKS decryption prompt, keystrokes has no response except that I can press CapsLock to toggle the indicator light. The real issue may be related to initramfs since there are errors during the mkinitcpio process.

Before going straight to the big trouble I am facing today, I'd like to explain the scenario in short. I made my first arch-installation back to just 10 days ago, and I tried LUKS encryption using btrfs filesystem on my laptop SSD. I am dual booting with Windows 11 and followed the guides so I had disabled secure boot and fast startup, some weird network issues occurred (and they are still there today btw, I can curl, install packages and surf normally but ping always fail), all seemed to work just fine until I was confident to boot the new system. I unpluged my USB boot medium, reboot, and as LUKS decryption prompt show up, I found the keystrokes not working, none of the keys could make something change on the screen, so I had to press the power button and chose to boot from USB drive, browse tons of posts, make some modifications on the MODULES and HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, finally it worked.

Today I upgraded the system and after reboot, the seemingly same problem occurred. I did almostly the same, trying to get it working by chroot from a USB drive, adding items at MODULES line and swapping positions on the HOOKS line, but it failed. I redownloaded old packages from the archive site and reinstalled the related ones, but still in vain. I found some people here in the forum met with LUKS troubles because of btrfs, but it seems not to be the problem here.

For your information, here is my MODULES and HOOKS line:

MODULES=(atkbd hid hid_generic i2c_hid intel_hid dm_mod dm_crypt i8042 usbhid xhci_hcd ehci_pci serio serio_raw i915)
HOOKS=(base udev keyboard keymap consolefont autodetect microcode modconf kms block encrypt lvm2 filesystems resume fsck)

The mkinitcpio -P command failed, it says possibly missing firmware for some modules and that no fsck helpers found fsck will not be run on boot. . details (this is when i was downgrading package nvidia-open and nvidia-utils:

The list of old packages to which I have downgraded:

It would be helpful if you can give some suggestions on how I should do next...
