Keyboard needs at least i8042.dumbkbd, but you may also consider adding i8042.nopnp i8042.noaux kernel parameters. If it is still not working, make sure you have the latest firmware drivers from Lenovo (keyboard is working on version SHCN32WW, released 7 of May 2026) - you might need to boot on Windows for that.

Above info luckily found here

Pleased to have helped.

Did you update UEFI firmware or use the kernel parameters?
