[Bug 305745] [NEW] after upgrading to intrepid 8.10, impossible to unlock encrypted disk with new kernels in 8.10

[Guillem Marpons]

Public bug reported:

When I installed Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 I used the Alternate CD and
chose the LVM with encrypted root partition option.

I've recently upgraded to Intrepid 8.10, and since then I receive the
following messages when the system asks me for the passphrase to unlock
the disk:

=========== (hand-copied)
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.

cryptsetup: cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?
===========

I've tried to boot both with kernels 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27-9, with the
same result. I can boot the system with the old linux image 2.6.24-22
(from Hardy 8.04). All the files I attach are from the system booted
with linux image 2.6.24-22, if not stated the contrary.

I've not tried to boot from a live CD, yet, and mount the encrypted
partitions from there (maybe the next step?).
