Same/similar problem here:
I have ext4 on lvm2 on luks on md
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1
/dev/md0
/dev/mapper/crypt_volume (luks aes 256)
/home (ext4)
worked 100% on jaunty. at boot, normal progress bar shows. then the
bar pauses, and password prompt shows asking for crypt_volume as
expected. (also note that swap is on /dev/urandom generated luks and
is automagically created)
installed lucid. disaster.
at boot, ?plymouth? has blue/white/navy colored overlapping bars moving
across bottom of screen.
then it may or may not prompt for input... and the prompt is
nonsensical.
i can change to alt-f1 console sometimes to see more info.
i can type characters and get same newline behavior mentioned by
jhansonxi on 2/12.
but it never works.
keyboard LEDs for caps and numlock do not work either.
sometimes hard lock. sometimes screen freezes, but cursor and bars
flash rapidly. sometimes i can keep entering keystrokes.
eventually had to mount livecd and disable crypt mounts in etc/crypttab and
etc/fstab
