Asus laptop keyboard intermittently not identified on booting of EasyOS

[TerryH]

This has been an on going issue with my new Asus laptop. Frequently the keyboard isn't identified and I can't enter the decryption password. Frequently needing to attempt booting several times to get a working keyboard. So would seem to be a timing issue. For some time, Puppy's and some other linux distributions add hid module/s early in the boot process.

I would appreciate if this could be looked at for possible inclusion in EasyOS.

Add hid modules, what does that mean?

If you run lsmod | grep hid in a terminal you will see several listed.

I will need to know what those hid modules are.

EasyOS has a large kernel, with everything builtin for hardware usage in the initrd.
No modules are loaded at that stage.

Looking at a Vanilla DPup booting, just after the sfs's are loaded the following lines appear:

Adding module hid_multitoiuch
Adding module i2c_hid
Adding module hid_sensor_custom
Adding module hid_sensor_hub

Edit: I was in Vanilla DPup previously for this post. Just rebooted to EasyOS, No modules containing hid appear when running lsmod in EasyOS. So I'm lost here now.

I had previously attempted to boot EasyOS, but had no keyboard on 4 attempts, so booted Vanilla DPup. When I booted EasyOS on this current attempt, it booted OK on first attempt. This issue is very random.
