Public bug reported:

i was told to open a separate bug here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003309

i posted here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/398406/encrypted-13-10-will-not-reliably-boot

and here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1u55fo/encrypted_1310_will_not_reliably_boot/

here it goes:
i re-installed ubuntu 13.10 x64 on my vaio pro, in legacy, bios mode. the installation is lvm/luks encrypted and thus asks me for the encryption password before booting.

it does not reliably boot. i often have to try several times, those are
the errors i get:

"... alert! /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root does not exist ..."

and sometimes it "boots" without asking me for the password and then
fails with "cryptsetup: cvms_activate is not available"

this happened on my old install, i fully wiped the ssd and the problem
still persists. how can i fix this?

and does anyone have an idea, why booting takes over one minute? the
pci-e samsung ssd reads with around 800MB/s that should boot in 15
seconds or less.

my macbook with a slow sata3 ssd boots in 20 seconds, with full disc
encryption.

i didn't mention it before, but i used the defaults of the installer and
didn't create my own partition layout. just install with internet and
getting updates during the install, reboot into system, install updates
and then i had the error, again, like in my previous install.
