[Bug 1068934] [NEW] ubuntu won't start from hard reboot

[Christ Sherwin]

Public bug reported:

if I cold boot via my computer's power button, Ubuntu 12.10 won't start
whereas 12.04 did.  however, if I CTRL+ALT+DEL after Ubuntu was supposed
to have started, it restarts and shows the grub menu.  after that,
everything works as expected.

I used quantal's guided whole-disk encryption with a fresh install.
