[Bug 1386576] Re: encrypted lvm partition passphrase input

Hello, may be an uefi problem. I have tested to boot with an encrypted bios-boot stick. Not perfect, but may be work.... Further investigation is needed.
Then i have made a binary copy of the initrd from the stick to my (uefi)-harddisk. Now I must boot without splash ! and enter the passphrase in a totally blank screen. After X is up, the system is usable.
Looking in a grub shell after initial-boot, the video-environment is totally different in bios and uefi mode. UEFI runs in higher resolution. May be a problem for the kernel.

So cryptosetup on my uefi-pc is really unusuable. Don´t know, how to make further tests.
The only thing i can say, in ubuntu 14.04 i can normally boot with splash screen and normal passphrase input.

Regards, Alfredo
