My /etc/crypttab requires a password entered for several partitions.

When booting, in about 2/3 of the cases the screen remains black and nothing
ever happends. Keyboard still usable (Num lock on/off, Ctrl-Alt-Del works), but
anything else apparently unresponded.

In 1/3 of the cases I get a green screen with a password entry field in the
bottom, and provided I enter the password correctly, everything boots up fine.

Unsimilar to 42.1, I don't succeed to get to a kernel-message log screen by
pressing Esc while booting, so I can't comment on how far the boot process
actually is.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an dmcrypt ecnrypted partition with entry in /etc/crypttab, password
field "none", so that it will be asked for.
2. Reboot.
3.
Actual Results:  
2/3 of the cases: The system gets stuck with a black screen with no message or
life sign whatsoever.

1/3 of the cases (correctly): green SUSE boot screen with password entry field.

Expected Results:  
The system shoukd ask for a encryption password.
