Title:
  cryptsetup fails to create swap

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I created an encrypted swap partition (as I've done many times), but
  cryptsetup, when called from /etc/init.d/cryptdisks-early fails and
  stalls.

  The only way to boot is to press ctrl-alt-dell at that point and it
  resumes booting (without adding the swap partition).

  I added a "set -x" to check where the boot process stalls and it does
  after issuing:

  cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h sha256 --key-
  file/dev/urandom create cryptoswap /dev/sda4

  
  I tried to issue the command manually and it simply says:
  "command failed"

  I disabled the encrypted swap on my other machine, removed the device
  from device mapper, run the same command and it run OK.

  I don't know why it's not working on my notebook...
