Just guessing but maybe you have changed your BIOS/UEFI settings so that
only "OS keyboards" (or something) are supported and not "BIOS mode"
support. Different settings probably name them differently but usually
there are such settings. In the Grub stage there may not be keyboard
available without some low-level support from BIOS/UEFI.
