[Bug 433051] Re: cryptsetup fails to open LUKS partition

[parke]

I have encountered this same bug after installing Ubuntu 9.10 beta
desktop on my Asus EEE (i386).

I used the alternate installer, and encrypted the root partition.  Thus
far, the root partition has always mounted successfully at boot.
However, when I try to "cryptsetup luksOpen" my SD card, it does not
accept the password.

Perhaps this is just a problem with LUKS encrypted disks that were
created with previous versions of Ubuntu?  (Of course, that is still a
serious issue as LUKS should be forward compatible.)

Eventually, "cryptsetup luksOpen" (run as root from the command line)
will succeed.  It seems that if I log in to Gnome (instead of on the
console), and then insert the SD card, Gnome detects the LUKS SD card,
and ask me for a password.  Gnome then fails to mount it, but(!) the
next time I try to mount the SD card in the console as root, I succeed.
However, I have only used this workaround twice, so maybe something else
is going on.

If I discover any more information, I will post it here.
