Christian, how did you get it to even ask you for the password to the encrypted 
filesystem?
    
In my system (fresh 9.10 install), the graphical boot screen just says "Waiting 
for /dev/mapper/cryptohome",  but there's not way to enter the password.   

My /etc/fstab contains:
/dev/mapper/cryptohome /home ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro,bootwait 0 2

My /etc/crypttab contains:
cryptohome      /dev/sda4               noauto          luks


If I press "ESC", I get a console, but it only allows me to enter the root 
password to get a shell....  but, of course, by default there is no root login 
allowed, so that's no help.

So, I have to rebook with the LiveCD, comment out the
/dev/mapper/cryptohome entry in fstab, and.... here I am, looking for a
solution.
