Dmesg after booting with systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/536.6 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1090.0 Safari/536.6 SUSE/20.0.1090.0

I updated my Kernel to 3.3.0-17.1 from Tumbleweed* and had to generate my
initrd by hand from a chroot, which worked okay in the end. However, since that
update, when I start my computer, I get asked for my lvm-password as expected
early on, type it, unlock it and everything continues, however, then it seems
that systemd is trying to detect and unlock the lvm all over again, despite it
being already unlocked. I then have to retype my password, otherwise the boot
doesn't continue.

Is there a special way to input "Tumbleweed" or is 12.1 alright, since the base
system is still 12.1?

The disk layout is as follows:

/dev/sda1 -> /boot
/dev/sda11 -> luks -> LVM -> /, /home, swap, /tmp, /data

After retyping my password for the second time, everything starts normally.
However, I also receive random "password needed" dialogs on the Desktop later
on, which seem to have no bearing even if ignored.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot
2. Unlock LVM
3. Boot stalls / asked for LVM password again
Actual Results:  
Having to unlock LVM again

Expected Results:  
After unlocking the LVM initially, normal boot, no further password checks or
lvm detection (since it's already detected and mounted?)

I am already using the systemd repository (fcrozat). I also checked additional
bug reports, such as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725622,
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740106,
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724238

None of the fixes or the aforementioned new version fixes the problem for me.

sh-4.2# rpm -q systemd
systemd-37-3.156.1.x86_64

sh-4.2# uname -a
Linux rmk2 3.3.0-17-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 2 13:53:06 UTC 2012
(142493d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

P.S.: This is my first bug report ever, I hope I didn't do anything horribly
wrong... :-S
