To be more specific -- prior to the commit you bisected to, the keyboard 
has been driven (in basic mode) by generic HID driver ('hid').

After that commit, it's being driven (in a full-featured mode) by hid++ 
driver (hid-logitech-hidpp), and therefore you need to have that driver 
present in any environment you are willing to use the keyboard in.

That should normally be handled by your mkinitrd (or whatever mechanism 
you are using to generate the initrd) though.
