So based on comment #6, this thread is discussing now a completely
different bug. I'm updating the title and bugdescription now.

** Summary changed:

- crypdisk boot scripts do not wait properly for source devices to appear
+ proper integration in failiure initramfs hooks

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: cryptsetup
- 
- ubuntu 8.04
- 
- md and lvm devices are set up by udev rules.
- 
- cryptsetup races the hotplug system and fails if they are not set up
- instantly.
- 
- cryptsetup scripts in initramfs and /etc/init.d/ should go into a
- waiting loop (0.1 sec intervals) for their devices (going on quickly
- when device is available) and timeout after a while.
- 
-  while timeout not reached, do:
-     if my device has come up, continue
-     wait a 0.1 seconds
-   done.
-   if timeout has been reached ...
- 
- Lets get rid of failure, long sleep workarounds and race conditions.
- 
- Alternatively cryptsetup may be handled by udev rules, similar as md and
- lvm devices are.
+ the cryptsetup package needs proper integration into the recently added
+ initramfs failure hooks

** Changed in: cryptsetup (Ubuntu)
