Title:
  luks/lvm encrypted 13.10 installation doesn't reliably boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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 http://i.imgur.com/0ZAMCfT.jpg  :
  "... alert! /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root does not exist ..."

  and sometimes it "boots" without asking me for the password and then fails with  http://i.imgur.com/Cu68SfN.jpg :
  "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.
