[ale] Strange booting on Ubuntu encrypted hdd

[Chesser.Damon]

I have seen this with Debian based systems on my home box.  If I reboot, I get this behavior.  If I boot again, it boots fine.  If I come up clean (all the way down, then back up, not a reboot) I do not.  No idea why.  Gentoo based and Fedora do not do this.

Subject: [ale] Strange booting on Ubuntu encrypted hdd

All

I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit and decided to try out the encrypted hard drive feature. At every boot, the system seems to hang on a blank screen, although the keyboard is still functional. Ctrl-F1 reveals just a cursor, but I cannot do anything with it.

If I do a reboot using ctrl-alt-del, it boots into Grub without any problems, requesting the encryption password, etc. and runs perfectly fine after that.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
