Comment 9 for bug 497480

Same/similar problem here:

I have ext4 on lvm2 on luks on md

/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1

  /dev/md0

    /dev/mapper/crypt_volume (luks aes 256)

      /home (ext4)

worked 100% on jaunty. at boot, normal progress bar shows. then the bar pauses, and password prompt shows asking for crypt_volume as expected. (also note that swap is on /dev/urandom generated luks and is automagically created)

installed lucid. disaster.

at boot, ?plymouth? has blue/white/navy colored overlapping bars moving across bottom of screen.

then it may or may not prompt for input... and the prompt is nonsensical.

i can change to alt-f1 console sometimes to see more info.

i can type characters and get same newline behavior mentioned by jhansonxi on 2/12.

but it never works.

  keyboard LEDs for caps and numlock do not work either.

sometimes hard lock. sometimes screen freezes, but cursor and bars flash rapidly. sometimes i can keep entering keystrokes.

eventually had to mount livecd and disable crypt mounts in etc/crypttab and etc/fstab
