Xen dom0 kernel and weird LUKS behaviour

Hi all,
I am having weird behaviour with fresh Xen dom0 kernel and LUKS. Both Xen kernel come from AUR. No errors during kernel compilation or initramfs generation. While booting, system asks for password to encrypted LVM, using normal kernel (2.6.33-ARCH x64) I enter the password - everything is ok. But while booting Xen kernel, kernel says that password is wrong. After entering it 30 times I sure that I didn't make any mistake ;-)
Any ideas what is happening ?

Re: Xen dom0 kernel and weird LUKS behaviour

Partially solved. I connected PS/2 keyboard and it worked. But why USB keyboard works on non-Xen kernel ? Any one knows how to make password visible while typing it at boot time ? It might help finding out what's wrong.
