[Bug 456274] Re: mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash

[Luka Renko]

I did more testing on my system and it is very hard to type fast enough
that passphrase is accepted by cryptsetup. In most cases, timour
happens, and I get message printed to enter recovery console with ESC.
This message repeats with each keypress (if I try to enter password
again).

If I press ESC, I get into recovery console and I can workaround the problem by issuing the following commands:
 
  start cryptdisks-enable    (entering passphrase)
  mount -a 
  exit

Boot the continues and everything is fine.

It looks like that when timeout happens, cryptsetup loose keyboard input
as it is stolen by mountall ESC/recovery console handling. I suspect
timout should be somehow disabled until cryptdisks-enable job is running
(or any other job requiring user text input).
