vaiopro, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per your https://launchpadlibrarian.net/161377805/BootDmesg.txt :
[    0.145086] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored

Hence, as per http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/SVP1321C5E/updates an update is available for your BIOS (R1043V7). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Sony VAIO SVP1321C5E] luks/lvm encrypted 13.10 installation doesn't
  reliably boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
