boot-failure-1.jpg

A fresh install which includes an encrypted partition does not include a
timeout= parameter in crypttab (Not sure if thats the actual cause here!). The
result is that one is FORCED to pay attention to the boot process to quickly
enter the passphrase. Otherwise the user is presented with a black screen and
geeky output.

I wonder what the value is to not just sit there and wait forever for a
passphrase, instead of enter failing state as its done now...

If one grabs a translator to decode whats printend on the screen, ctrl D will
not actually help. It asks for the password for a few seconds, then the
bootsplash is started again. Nothing happens during that time.

After a while the same geek screen is shown.
