Boot menu
SUMMARY
If the user inputs the wrong password twice at boot time, the boot system gets
stuck. To recover from this situation, the user needs to reset the system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the KDE Linux with disk encryption.
2. Input a wrong password and type ENTER.
3. Input a wrong password and type ENTER, again.
OBSERVED RESULT
Boot sequence is terminated. "You are in emergency mode" is displayed on the
screen. The system encourages typing ENTER, but the same message is displayed
again.
EXPECTED RESULT
Even if a wrong password is input multiple times, the system should prompt the
user to input again and again.
