Bug Description

Since upgrade to edgy 6.10 the new boot-routine do not accept hand typed passkey for cryptdisks.
When asked for passkey it types the passkey in cleartext to the screen and reports "Command failed: Key reading error" after enter. After that it asks again for the passkey. This time the passkey is not written to the screen but after enter message "Command failed: Key reading error" appears again.
Mount's in /etc/crypttab are not mounted.
After boot up, typing "sudo /etc/init.d/crypdisks restart" every thing works fine.

No idea what package you are using, but the kernel has no control over userspace utilities working like this (it's not the kernel that asks for the password).
