Output from serial session when I switch over to using serial, there's an error here about missing evms_activate which I don't remember seeing on x86:

Title:
  keyboard doesn't work to enter password with panda and encrypted
  partitions

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “initramfs-tools” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Installing quantal server on panda from the 20121013 image, a normal
  install with guided partitioning works fine, and keyboard works during
  and post-install.

  However, if I select lvm+encrypted partitions from the partitioning
  screen, after rebooting the keyboard does not work for entering the
  password to unlock the disk, which prevents booting the system.
