Public bug reported: New installation of the fglrx driver causes the plymouth splash screen and the included cryptroot password prompt to not appear at the next boots. Workaround: remove "quiet splash vt.handoff=7" from GRUB command line.
To reproduce, install Ubuntu 11.04 on a system with AMD graphics, and encrypt the root partition. Do not install fglrx. Confirm that booting works. Now, install fglrx via the GNOME proprietary drivers tools and reboot. See that the prompt disappears. Workaround: as above.
