Hi!

I attempted to install guix system on an gpd micropc laptop, choosing an
encrypted filesystem without a separate home partition. The laptop keyboard
is a usb keyboard. Once installed,  I was able to use the keyboard for the
first time the password was asked for. The second time, however, the
keyboard was not functional.

Does your machine have a special kernel module for the keyboard?
If have, please add the system configuration file:

```
(operating-system
 ;; ...
 (initrd-modules
  (append
   (list
    "module1"
    "module2")
   %base-initrd-modules)))

```

Being USB, I don't think any special support from the kernel Linux would
need to be enabled, but we'd need to know which keyboard exactly.

Closing since this is a very old bug.  I hope you could sort it out!

Thanks,

Maxim
