What do I need to change to access my encrypted partition in 12.1 and mount it under /home?

I've made the relevant entries in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab match in both the 12.1 system and the 11.4 system.
I can now login to the 12.1 system, and the encrypted partition is now mounted under /home, BUT I have to guess when to type in the decryption password as the screen goes blank during the 12.1 boot sequence, between selecting it from the grub boot menu and the user login prompt appearing.
So, the question now is, how can I make the boot sequence (dmesg output) visible on the screen, so that I know when it is asking for the password?
Bob
Simply hit escape after making your selection from the boot menu.
Sorry, Ken, I should have said that I'd already tried the escape route ;) and it hadn't worked.
Or for a permanent change edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the splash=silent option or change it to splash=verbose and put it after the showopts parameter.
Unfortunately, this didn't work either, but thanks for the suggestion. When I say the screen goes black, it's actually still illuminated/backlit, but with a black colour, IYSWIM. It's similar to the appearance when the screen switches to power saving mode. After selecting the system to boot, I see the first few lines of the boot messages, then it goes black (as above), then I may see the green openSUSE screen with the wavy line, then back to black again.
