I have to say that this bug is not completely solved.

Some problems still exist. this is what i experience.

Using gutsy, up-to-date as of 08.03.2008

Encrypted partitions: home and swap
Type of encryption: Luks

crypttab:

home /dev/sda3 none luks,retry=1,cipher=aes-lrw-benbi
swap /dev/sda4 /dev/random swap

fstab:

/dev/mapper/home /home ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/swap none swap sw 0 0

During boot-up the following behavior i can report:

boot-up starts, splash goes away and i see "Starting early crypto disks..."
then there is "Enter LUKS passphrase:"

And i enter the passprase. After that i press "Enter" and can see "key slot 0 unlocked. command successful"

but then boot doesn't continues until i move my fingers over the touchpad. well, pressing any key doesn't let the boot-process continuing.
so it seems that there is an input expected which in my case only with the touchpad can be made.

after moving the fingers over the pad, i can see "Starting remaining cryptodisks..." and boot-up goes on.

could it be, that the swap is the problem or the order of the lines in the fstab/crypttab

Could this be explained and or confirmed by somebody?
