Bug#741464: grub-pc-bin: freezes after "terminal_input at_keyboard"

[Ximin Luo]

Package: grub-pc-bin
Version: 2.02~beta3-4
Followup-For: Bug #741464

Hi, I have just been hit by this on a new computer, Intel z170 chipset with i5-6600K processor. I am using a custom GRUB config, however none of that matters since it is the first line "terminal_input at_keyboard" that is causing the problem.

Grub can't get any input from the keyboard, but I don't know if it was "still working" or "hanging" because I didn't get a chance to try out the "automatically boot after X seconds" feature.

Commenting out terminal_input at_keyboard or replacing "at_keyboard" with "usb_keyboard" both restored keyboard functionality, however my keymaps didn't work and I was forced to type my long passwords slowly in the QWERTY layout. It's very very incovenient.

I note that <emmanuel at libera.cc> in message #58 had already tried the commit 3c058332499f6c0185c167a7faf37afa808136b7 and reported that it doesn't work, but I also just checked that the patch is already applied in the current version of GRUB that gave me this bug.

If there are any other patches you would like me to try, let me know.
