Title:
  cryptsetup can't get input at boot.

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  The karmic startup scripts run cryptsetup in parallel with other
  scripts and/or getty. The effect is that user input doesn't get
  delivered to cryptsetup making it impossible to enter a passphrase to
  decrypt the disks mentioned in /etc/crypttab at boot time. This can
  also result in the passphrase being echoed to the screen.

  This errant behavior appears both on encrypted disks devices and
  encrypted md devices. This was not the case with the last release of
  ubuntu.

  I have only tested with luks encryption. This does not affect
  encrypted root disks which are setup by initfs.
