A year later and I'm still facing this issue, now on 12.04.2.
This time I installed LUKS on top of RAID on a Tyan-S3970. A Ctl-Alt-F1, Ctl-Alt-F7 got me to a text box, but updating, followed by installing the proprietary nvidia drivers, turned that into a text mode input. I used #24 and I now have a text box again, but it looks all blurry and doesn't fit the screen.
Anyway, it took a dozen tries to get this far, so I'm leaving it!
I'm going to try it again on that Tyan-S2865 and see if I can get it to work this time.
