None of the driver changes are relevant to this system. You are not using Hyper-V and Linux 6.1 does not include the USB drivers that initramfs-tools tries to add. > Please take a look, I think this is fairly important since it renders at least > some systems with LUKS unbootable. I can't reproduce this. I suspect that probing of your USB keyboard is slightly unreliable and that it just happened to fail on the first boot after you upgraded. Please try again with the new initramfs-tools packages. Also, if the keyboard is not detected at first, try unplugging and re-plugging it. If this problem persists, please send: - The /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file - The output of "lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-25-amd64" when the old version of initramfs-tools is installed - The output of "lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-25-amd64" when the new version of initramfs-tools is installed Ben. -- Ben Hutchings For every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.
