vaipro, thank you for updating your BIOS. Could you please confirm this
issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images
are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If
the issue remains, could you please run the following command in the
development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. 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.
