Same probelm after update.
I cleaned up all the earlier kernels because the space on my /boot
partition was limited, so I was unable to use an earlier kernel. I had
to download a LiveCD of Ubuntu 13.10 and boot it. Then I used cryptsetup
to decrypt my existing hdd rootfs partition, and mount all LV partitions
to a temporary folder. Next I setup the system mounts (dev, sys, proc,
etc), and chroot-ed to the temporary folder. Then I edited the /etc
/initramfs-tools/modules file with nano, added "ohci_pci" to it at the
bottom, saved, and called "update-initramfs -u". Finally I unmounted and
rebooted.
It worked.
People using pre-boot authentication might also want to modify the cryptsetup
hook script. Go to the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/ folder and
edit a file called "cryptroot". Find a line that says something like cryptkey =
"Unlocking disk bla bla bla...\nEnter passphrase: " and change it to look like
this:
cryptkey="Enter passphrase: "
This will remove the annoying UUID text from the auth screen on boot.
You will instead see only a single line that says "Enter passphrase: ".
Much cleaner.
