Did another bug get open for this (as per #49/#50)?  I haven't been able
to find one.

I am seeing the same behaviour as comment #25, with a brand new install
of 9.10, which I then updated meaning I have cryptsetup
2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu7.2 and mountall 1.0.  If I don't have
'bootwait', gdm starts, but my encrypted partition isn't mounted (and
switching back to tty1 there is no sign of a prompt for the passphrase).
If I do set 'bootwait' for the partition, the boot stops when mounting
fails.  A few hits of return sometimes gives a passphrase prompt, which
doesn't work, saying the passphrase is wrong, as if it's only seeing the
'return', and not any other keystrokes.  After a mixture of repeated
attempts (so cryptsetup fails?) or waiting for mountall to timeout (I'm
guessing), I eventually managed to get a maintenance prompt, so that I
could remove the 'bootwait', and at least get back in to a state where
the machine booted.  (trying to boot in to single user mode to remove
the 'bootwait' didn't work, because it still hit the failing mount).

/etc/crypttab:
# <target name> <source device>         <key file>      <options>
data            /dev/sda6               none            luks
cswap           /dev/sda5               /dev/urandom    swap

/etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/data        /mnt/data       ext3    defaults,relatime       1       
2
/dev/mapper/cswap       none    swap    sw      0       0

cswap appears to work *sometimes*, but usually only after a huge delay.
dmesg for this boot (no 'bootwaits' in fstab) shows me that it came up
after 2137 seconds.

BTW, 'data' isn't one of the 'essential' system mount points, but does
contain, among other things, /home.

If there is another open bug that this should be posted to instead, let
me know.

Cheers,
--Dave
