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/
I worked around the problem by adding "hid_generic" to /etc/initramfs-
$ cat /proc/version_
Ubuntu 3.5.0-15.22-generic 3.5.4
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
