This may be a duplicate of bug #1215155.  Before testing the kernels in
comments #3 and #4, can you test the kernel that was built for bug
1215155?   You can download the test kernel here:

Thanks.

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.
