Now I am confused: I wanted to make that offending partition sda5 a luks partition again with palimpsest to check whether it then would again hang. It refused saying I had to reboot because of the kernel not knowing the new partition table or something like that. I reboot and the partition that I knew as sda5 is gone! Instead there is now a bigger empty space made up of that partition and what was adjacent empty space. All of that now one big empty partition. sda5 is consequently now the name of another partition. I am at a complete loss as to how to explain why the partition table changed. I had used gparted>Format_to to format to ext4, not change the size. Then a reboot with the stick. Then a normal reboot. Then made a copy of mbr and layout, which I compared with md5 and found unchanged from before. I can not see any reason for the partition layout to change now.
