--- Comment #10 from Kevin Brubeck Unhammer <unhammer+dill@...st> ---
Sorry for the late reply – I still haven't been able to get keyboard working in
initramfs, so not much more useful information :(

I did try running blkid from an initramfs script:

$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/kbu-blkid
#!/bin/sh
PREREQ=""
prereqs()
{
     echo "$PREREQ"
}
case $1 in
prereqs)
     prereqs
     exit 0
     ;;
esac
echo "KBU"
blkid
echo "/KBU"
$ sudo  update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-040600rc6-generic

but that just shows

   running /scripts/init-premount ... KBU
   /KBU

as if the "blkid" command had no output. Is there something more useful I could
put in there? 

Would it be useful at all to compile a kernel with debug symbols as in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel#Debug_Symbols or if I change
some other configuration options? (I don't really know what I should change
though, since CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2 is already tested as per the config
diff).
