I just built a new kernel with the latest sources (6.1-RC) and now it
doesn't register any keyboard input at all when asking for the
passphrase. All of my -lock keys work, and I can scroll up and down,
but when typing letters nothing shows up and enter won't input a
newline.

I tried with both the geom_eli.ko and compiling it directly into the kernel=
.

I can still boot the 6.1-BETA4 kernel and it will at least pick up the
keypresses every third keystroke or so.

Any ideas? It only stops recognizing input when asking for a
passphrase at boot time. At all other times it works as expected...
Could it be there's an issue with -b?

Sincerely,
