G H, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a 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-3.15-rc5

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:
  splash screen doesn't display on kernels newer than 2.6.31-22 => can
  not enter disk decryption password

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu on my notebook. My disk contains four partitions: two
  windows partitions, a /boot partition for ubuntu, and an (fully
  encrypted) partition containing the rest of my ubuntu system. The
  encryption was set up using the alternate install CD of Ubuntu 9.04
  (so it's LUKS).

  Trying to boot with any kernel newer than 2.6.31-22 fails, because the
  splash screen (where I am supposed to enter my disk
  encryption/decryption password) is not displayed. This also holds for
  booting in recovery mode. Typing the password blindly (without prompt)
  does not yield any result.

  During the boot process with new kernels, the screen flashes one time
  (as if the kernel was trying to change the display mode/screen
  resolution), but then falls back to text mode display. I'm not sure if
  this has got something to do with the problem, but since I can't rule
  that out, I included the info.
