[Bug 1214852] Re: encrypted drive can't boot
Also, the 3.8.0-30.43 kernel is now available in the -proposed
repository. Would it be possible for you to test this latest kernel and
post back if it resolves this bug?
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed.
Thank you in advance!

Title:
encrypted drive can't boot
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
- install new Ubuntu (or Xubuntu) 13.04 from CD in VM on external hard drive mounted as /dev/sda , having selected the option to encrypt the drive.
- reboot when install is finished, then running on a physical machine with the external hard drive mounted as /dev/sdb (this setup has worked for months before today)
- enter the encryption passphrase when asked (early in the boot process)
- login as the one user set up during installation
- install the ca. 109 MB of updates, including linux-image-3.8.0-29
- reboot when the update process has finished
- the graphic boot screen shows up and the waiting wheel starts turning, as usual, before the disk encryption passphrase is being asked for
Observed behaviour: after ca. 3-5 minutes, with the wheel turning and
no passphrase prompt, the system falls into a BusyBox (mini shell)
with initramfs prompt.
Expected behaviour: after max. 1-2 minutes, the prompt to enter the
disk encryption passphrase should appear.
Workaround: while still in grub, enter the advanced options and boot
kernel version 3.8.0-19, which shows expected behaviour.
The bug seems to appear with kernel version 3.8.0-29; kernel version
3.8.0-19 works.
Both vanilla Ubuntu 13.04 and Xubuntu 13.04 are affected. The
workaround works for both Ubuntu variants.
