thanks for the tip with udevsettle - i added it at 2 places:

But I have had a second error: in /boot/grub/menu.lst the bootparameters root= and cryptoroot= where swapped (but it works with dapper before):

wrong

 root=/dev/hda5 cryptoroot=/dev/mapper/root_c

working:

 cryptoroot=/dev/hda5 root=/dev/mapper/root_c
