Summary0007846: [Hyper-V] hyperv_keyboard module needed for Generation 2 VMs
Description

Because Generation 2 virtual machines in Hyper-V are presented with a minimal set of EFI hardware, the kernel module "hyperv_keyboard" must be present to interact with the console keyboard. On systems with disk encryption, the user will be prompted for the key to decrypt the disk, but cannot enter the password because no keyboard driver is present.

This issue appears to exist in 2022.2 release that support EFI and are therefore eligible to be used as Generation 2 VMs, most recently tried with kali-linux-2022.2-installer-amd64.iso

This module is present when the grub menu is presented and later when the kernel is fully loaded.
FYI, if some mechanism requires a mouse or touch, the hid_hyperv module will also be needed.

Steps To Reproduce

Install on a hyper-v gen2 with full disk encryption.
it is not possible to enter passphrase while boot.

Re-opening as this is still an issue.

I opened a bug report upstream: https://bugs.debian.org/1028511, and also proposed a MR: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/69. But no feedback so far. I need to ping again.
