[Bug 89008] gdm won't log in with cryptsetup and pam_mount on custom kernel

[Tim Rees]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Using one of the "stock" Ubuntu kernels (2.6.17-10-generic or
2.6.17-11-generic), set up an encrypted user with cryptsetup and libpam-
mount (to login using user password) using instructions such as these:

Compile and install a custom kernel (such as the one provided by linux-
source or a vanilla kernel).  Use current config from /boot if you wish.

gdm will not log in the encrypted user on the new kernel, the encrypted
volume mounts but there is a black screen and you are returned to the
login screen.  kdm or xdm both work.  Booting the previous kernel and
gdm works as expected.

** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
