[Bug 580128] Re: Crypt password prompt ignores keypresses for several minutes before responding

[Leon Weber]

The problem seems to be related to USB hard disks that are attached to
the machine.

There are two of these devices, let's call them A and B. When booting
with both disconnected (or powered off) or with only disk A connected,
the problem does not occur. It only occurs when disk B is connected.

Disk B is a 1TB disk inside a Trekstor DataStation maxi g.u usb case:

The time until the system becomes responsive is very fluctuating. It
usually takes aroung 80 or 90 seconds, though I also had cases when it
took 20 seconds or multiple minutes.

The 'splash' boot parameter has no influence at all on this behaviour,
the same things happen with the text mode prompt.
