I was able to reproduce basically the same symptoms, but the workaround is slightly different. I've an amd64 with NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GX2] (rev a2). The _only_ way that this system will display the encryption password prompt is if you boot without "splash" in the kernel command line. I can alter which VT the password prompts appear in by changing the vt.handoff number from 7 to 1.
If splash is enabled then vt 1 comes up completely blank. Switching to vt 2 etc produces a single unblinking cursor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/942846 Title: encrypted install fails to boot as long as vt.handoff=7 is used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/942846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
