Hello, I have been encountering this problem for almost a year now and I'd really like help fixing it. My system only has USB ports and no ps/2 for a keyboard. I'm running FreeBSD 9 with an encrypted GELI container for the whole system. The kernel resides on a USB key and with 8.1 - 9.0 I was able to enter the GELI password using a USB keyboard at the GELI prompt during booting. Since 9.1 this is not possible anymore and still isn't with 10.0. The GELI prompt either doesn't accept any key press or ignores Enter (I can't tell the difference because the password is not shown). I already looked at the code but could not find significant changes in ukbd.c or the likes from 9.0 to 9.1. However, since the GELI code was changed even less I post the question here. Is there a possibility to get more debug output except for verbose boot? Can I provide other information to help fix the problem? Thanks a lot! --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
