Bug Description
I have an X61s thinkpad running jaunty. It's just experienced the following regression today; it was working ok until last night's updates.
I have it configured with the whole drive aside from /boot in an encrypted partition, and then lvm on top of that.
Booting proceeds normally until the point where I'm asked for my disk passphrase. I enter that I'm told "key slot 0 unlocked" and then the disk light comes on but nothing seems to happen for about a minute.
At intervals of several minutes I do get screenfuls of output like this:
/sys/
repeated many times with decreasing numbers. Then a little bit of normal output:
Command successful.
File descriptor 3 left open
2 logical volumes in volume group "lithe" now active
cryptsetup: sdb1_crypt setup successfully.
Done.
CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec
Begin: waiting for root filesystem... ...
This is on a text mode console, in recovery mode.
20 minutes later there's still disk io and no progress.
Unfortunately the latest update uninstalled my older kernel versions so I can't try one of them.
I ran the bios disk diagnostics and they passed, so I don't think this is caused by a hardware problem.
