Public bug reported:

When installing the lubuntu image as part of the iso testing
(lubuntu/daily/20120327/precise-alternate-amd64.iso) using the alternate
installer from the daily builds for March 27, 2012, I attemted to make a
full-disk encrypted setup using LVM.  I used the instructions from the
isotesting testcase:
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/AlternateEncryptedLvm

The install went perfectly.  However, when I rebooted, the system hung
on a blank screen.  I left it for over half an hour, and no response.
At this point, I simply typed in the password for the LVM encryption,
and the system then continuted to boot normally.

After getting into the system, I tested it (everything was working fine)
then rebooted.  I experienced the same symptoms (just a blank screen)
after each boot.

I believe that there is supposed to be a screen prompting the user for
the password for the LVM encryption instead of just a blank screen.
