[Bug 445888] Re: Can't enter password for encrypted devices at boot time

[gkey]

When:
/etc/rcS.d/S28cryptdisks

is executed at boot, (so after /etc/rcS.d/S28cryptdisks-early), Karmic doesn't wait for the input in response to the prompt. So the system loads gdm before the user can insert his password. Hence the system is booted without mounting all the disks and a ps -ef|grep cryptsetup yields this result:
root      2866  2822  0 22:36 ?        00:00:00 /lib/cryptsetup/askpass Enter passphrase to unlock the disk /dev/sdb2 (sdb2_encrypted): 

Others are experiencing the same:
