You probably have an USB keyboard.

I know that it's annoying, but your configuration is currently not
supported by hotplug, sorry.
Starting hotplug before /usr has been mounted is not possible for some
devices, so I'm not sure if this will be changed even in the future.
As a workaround you can add to /etc/modules the drivers you need to
operate your keyboard and disks. Probably this should be documented in
the cryptsetup package.
