Comment 33 for bug 473615

Today I deemed it safe to upgrade my ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10. After 5+ months I expected a smooth upgrade.
I had splash disabled. I have /home on a lvm luks volume.
Multiple cryptsetup processes seem to be started, directing output/input to something else than tty1.
With rebooting, trying again, different timings, blind escape and returns and the passphrase itself it is possible to get past the prompt for the passphrase (which is invisible initially).

After reading on launchpad I configured splash. I now have to type my passphrase (which is 32+ chars) 3 times, then it unlocks the /home and boots fine.

This behaviour matches other comments on this bug, if I should open a new bug, please let me know.
