systemd-boot boot menu ignoring keyboard input (PS/2) #19191
Description
With systemd 248, the systemd-boot boot menu does not work with a PS/2 keyboard. The boot menu ignores all keyboard input. The arrow keys don't work, the Enter key doesn't work.
This problem only happens with a PS/2 keyboard. Input works fine when using a USB keyboard on the same computer.
While the boot menu ignores key presses with a PS/2 keyboard, what still works is pulling up a disabled boot menu by holding down the space-bar key at boot. Then when inside the boot menu, key presses are ignored and don't work.
