Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. I tested it on Ubuntu 24.04:
```
$ 3cpio -t /boot/initrd.img | grep hid-generic
usr/lib/modules/6.8.0-45-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-generic.ko.zst
```
So hid-generic is included. I am marking this bug as fixed.

Title:
[xorg-edgers] hid_generic module missing from initramfs
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
After enabling the xorg-edgers PPA on my Precise system, I could no
longer type the password to unlock my encrypted root filesystem at
boot. It turns out there's a new module in linux-3.5.0-* called
"hid_generic" that needs to be included in the initrd so that USB
keyboards can be used during bootstrapping.
The auto_add_modules() function in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-
functions from the Quantal version of initramfs-tools copies the
module to the initramfs; see bug #1017991 and
<https://launchpadlibrarian.net/108712220/initramfs-
tools_0.103ubuntu0_0.103ubuntu0.1.diff.gz>. Perhaps initramfs-tools
should be backported to the xorg-edgers PPA.
I worked around the problem by adding "hid_generic" to /etc/initramfs-
tools/modules, but I don't know if this will cause problems if I
switch back to a linux-3.2.0-* kernel (which doesn't have this
module).
