** Description changed:

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

- 
- and here:

  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.
