I have a standard Apple USB keyboard… and system is not recognizing it during boot, when need to enter decryption key … and same thing in virtual machine with a different Linux.
Any ideas how to make it work, or how to approach?
Maybe need to tinker with kernel i am guessing? Maybe some special parameters?
Thanks
Does it use another module than usbhid?
lsmod
you could add the module to the initramfs so that it loads early with mkinitcpio.
Maybe also like here… fastboot is just the issue here, because it skips steps at the init process:
Hmm, the keyboard issue was indeed from the Fast Boot option in BIOS. It now works well with an empty MODULES line in mkinitcpio.conf. I had previously tried to load ehci or usbid as you suggested, but with no success. According to this support page :
Fast Boot is a feature in BIOS that reduces your computer boot time. If Fast Boot is enabled:
Boot from Network, Optical, and Removable Devices are disabled.
Video and USB devices (keyboard, mouse, drives) wont be available until the opera…
Hi, thanks
it is not recognized on boot on my current 5.13.5-1-MANJARO pc, but is recognized on 5.10.42-1-MANJARO virtual … interesting
Hi
I recently noticed this in my pacman logs:

Previously it was only warning about qat_4xxx
, but now it’s xhci_pci
as well, starting with kernel 5.13.6. Keyboard seems to work though.
Mine is also working now, and wakes pc up from suspend, in all kernels, 5.13 included. Not sure what I did, updated, or simply restarted. Thanks
