Title:
  Init: cryptdisks-enable main process killed at boot, then infinite
  hang

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My well funtionctiong 10.04 on AMD64 with real-time kernel no longer
  boots.

  It starts the boot sequence, and seems ok. I get the GRUB pause, it indicates a generic kernel, not an rt kernel, but I'm not sure if that was always the case.
  The screen goes black, then in relatively small grapchic font:

  "init: cryptdisks-enalbe main process (880) killed by TERM signal"

  It stays like that unless I hit an arrow key, then I get a scrolling
  screen of udev warnings about future obsolete something...

  Then, I get a small font graphic font about 1/3 of the way down the
  screen

  Ubuntu 10.04
  . . . .

  The four dots cycle in color to show "progress".

  Then the sceen goes into standby, after about 5-10 minutes.

  If I hit an arrow key, it wakes up with the udev warnings, again...

  What could this possibly be?

  And, how do I get my system back?

  ps. I was at the big TEDx  conference last week and was surprised to hear several people talking about the loss of quality in the recent Ubuntu releases. I was very surprised, since I am a strong Ubuntu supporter. However, I myself have not been very impressed with the 10.04 on my AMD64:
  - ugly boot-up sequence,
  - flashy login, but with no added value,
  - and now faliure to boot...

  I am more than happy to help in anyway I can. I am a computer
  scientist, but Artificial Intelligence, not OS specialist..

  Thanks,
  Bob.
