It also helps to remove "splash" from the kernel line (for example in /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub). Then you lose the splash screen but can normally enter the password. That's ofcourse just a workaround, since the splash screen is kind of integral to the user experience imho. Without it I might as well use debian or arch :D
