Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel?
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the
latest v3.11 stable kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  LuksOpen failed on boot after kernel upgrade

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  immediately following an upgrade to 3.11.0-14.21(saucy/proposed) it
  appeared that the AES module required to unlock my luks encrypted
  volume for /home was not available on boot.

  It was strange, as I had executed apt-get upgrade,  but when I
  returned to my console minutes later, the system appeared to have
  rebooted and was prompting (as it normally would on boot) for my
  passphrase to unlock my home directory.

  The console, on boot, displayed an 'unknown type' after authentication
  for crypt_luks, and the console option (Skip or Manual) was only
  presented and available very briefly after the first authentication
  prompt.  Even with valid credentials, subsequent re-prompts appeared
  and failed with the same error.

  After another reboot, I authenticated, quickly hit M (to break into
  conole) and was able to get into the console with a working system
  with partitions (/, var, etc) mounted except that /boot was not
  mounted and my encrypted /home was not mounted.  I was able to mount
  boot (giving me access to grub.conf), but was unable to unlock my
  crypted home directory using cryptsetup from the command line.
  cryptysetup luksopen did however complain the module for AES was not
  loaded.  Modprobe did not find the module requested.

  I didn't waste too much more time as I need this system for work, and
  quickly just replaced 3.11.0-14 with 3.11.0-13 in my grub.conf and I
  was back up and running after a reboot.

  A quick check on apt after the reboot revealed no half-installed
  kernels or packages of any kind (which was my first guess as to root
  cause).   If I get some time later this week, I may try and reinstall
  the latest kernel to capture more info.
