Bug Description
I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 with an encrypted root on a machine with a SCSI card. Now when I start it up it doesn't ask for the password properly. What happens is that it tries to find the encrypted partition before the SCSI drive is attached. The way around it to wait for things to time out and then you get an initramfs prompt, there you type:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt
That decrypts the partition (which contains / and swap as LVM volumes), then you press crtl-D and the machine starts up.
