[solved]USB doesn't work with LTS and Mainline Kernel

Hi, I have a Gigabyte motherboard B560 AORUS PRO AX and with the latest kernel update to the latest kernels I can't do anymore password prompt for cryptsetup. I can choose between LTS and Mainline Kernel to boot but later the keyboard stop wroking. With a older USB stick it's working.

journalctl -b | grep Microsoft | nc termbin.com 9999

With chroot the Keyboard is working...

How I can fix that?

Re: [solved]USB doesn't work with LTS and Mainline Kernel

it sounds like your boot loader is not picking up  a kernel version that is different from the kernel that is installed.

If you boot your system, do you have any way to get the output of
uname -a
pacman -Q linux
and
pacman -Q linux-lts

without a keyboard?  Perhaps by using ssh to get into the system?

No because is crypted but I can chroot and do this command.

Have I to update the bootloader or is the hooks wrong with keyboard?

Re: [solved]USB doesn't work with LTS and Mainline Kernel

That is not all that helpful since we pretty much know what version is installed (which is what the pacman commands return).  The uname command will return the name of the kernel provided by the chroot's host, not the one being loaded by your bootloader.

Let's try a different tack.  Set up a chroot without having mounted your boot partition and enter it.  Look in /boot and see if there are files. If there are, including the kernel, note the date on the file.  Then exit, and set up a chroot with the boot partition mounted.  Do the same.  Compare the dates and report back.

file understands vmlinuz and will extract the kernel version

file /boot/vmlinuz-linux

Booting the fallback initrd may help in the case of a missing module from the autodetect initrd.

HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect modconf block keyboard sd-vconsole mdadm_udev sd-encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck)

It's this correct?

Without mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot /boot is empty

Re: [solved]USB doesn't work with LTS and Mainline Kernel

I fixed with this hooks

HOOKS=(base systemd keyboard autodetect modconf block sd-vconsole mdadm_udev sd-encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck)

The reason is

Note: For systems that are booted with different hardware configurations (e.g. laptops with external keyboard vs. internal keyboard or headless systems), this hook needs to be placed before autodetect in order to be able to use the keyboard at boot time, for example to unlock an encrypted device when using the encrypt hook is used.

I don’t know why it was working before
