In reply to comment #5:

Perhaps we may consolidate these two defects. Both are for the same issue, and only have a few minor differences:
He was able to reach "Enter passphrase", but I could not get to that input form; He seemed unable to type upper case letters (bad TERM mode as I pointed out), while I could key in anything line after line (with echo but no response - same as his).

However, his was clearly stuck at luks password step, and my conclusion
was based on my sense of reasoning (not really sure where the
installation procedure was suspending).

Title:
  boot hangs for no way to enter password for encrypted LVM

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Problem Description 
  =======================
  VNC booting Ubuntu hangs after:
  [    0.774027] /build/buildd/linux-3.16.0/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
  due to no way to enter the password for an encrypted device. It occurs for an installation with the device encryption selected. Without encryption, the warning message still appears, but the booting can continue till login prompt.

  Work Around: If selecting Recovery Mode quickly to boot, then there is
  the chance to enter a password and bring up the system.

  However, at the booting menu, if your hand is too slow, then the
  terminal mode will be toggled to somewhat unknown. Then the <Enter>
  key will not work, nor do the upper case letters. You have to type
  Ctrl+M (alternative of <Enter> with normal TERM setting) to get in
  "Advanced options for Ubuntu", but still end up unable to provide the
  correct password if it contains any upper case letters.
