The title of this bug is wrong: It does not only affect LVM and not only the server edition. I have this problem on 10.04 desktop edition without LVM.

The description is also incorrect. The process is as follows:

Unlocking the disk ... (sda5_crypt)
Enter passphrase: :*
Unlocking the disk ... (sda5_crypt)
Enter passphrase: :**
Unlocking the disk ... (sda5_crypt)
Enter passphrase: :***
Unlocking the disk ... (sda5_crypt)
Enter passphrase: :****
Unlocking the disk ... (sda5_crypt)

I have the problem with a crypted / partition. Becomes visible when deleting splash quiet in the kernel options line of grub.cfg.

This bug should be associated with the cryptsetup package.
