I think it is lack of different keyboard layout in grub2, but don't take my word on that. It could be plymouth.
I don't think is GRUB2 or Plymouth related (I prefer not going on speculation). So far I know, It happens on our distro.
The Bugzilla Andrey posted the link to, says that it is a problem with Plymouth. In fact, removing Plymouth kind of "solves" the issue.
I do not think removing Plymouth really help on all cases or perhaps I missed something there.
Sadly, I did not make annotations enough to go back on my steps to you. :-(
I first thought of grub because I know that grub in openSUSE also can not handle other keyboards. But I had my doubts, because the encryption password is handled after the kernel loads, not before. So the other obvious candidate was Plymouth - and I half remembered Andrey saying so ;-)
That's sound logic if it works so. Let me ask and apologies for my knowledge fault. Is it GRUB2 different for openSUSE from other distributions? Because I was able to make it work on 2 distro without KBd Layout switching. Could you elaborate what "it" means in this sentence? I'm afraid I do not understand it.
I will try to. Ubuntu and Fedora are able to handle the US English Keyboard Layout limitations to set a Full HDD Encryption with LVM. Both distros are able to use almost any Non-US English Keyboard Layout to gain access to the Encrypted Hard Disk Drive. Again, I am not complaining because I was able to make it work on openSUSE 13.1 with some twists on the process.
My question would be. What is the limitation on our GRUB2 or whatever Application is handling this issue and preventing us to use any Non-US English Keyboard Layout?
I already answered it. If you encrypt root, password for root is requested in initrd and mkinitrd does not support custom keyboard layouts. For non-root containers it should work, as password is requested after console is setup and keyboard layout is loaded.
So far I able to confirm, openSUSE, Fedora and Ubuntu are using GRUB2. Is there a substantial differences to make work Non-US English Keyboard Layout on those distros?
If I can recall, openSUSE supports plenty Languages for the user session. And fortunately, that's not the issue to solve.
