Hi Pete,

Hitting CR a second time when not seeing a reaction to the first CR 
improved the situation for me, too. (Got the crypto partition mounted after 1-3 
attempts most of the time)

cryptsetup has been updated, it seems there are several issues involved and 
there is a partial fix:
Version 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu7.1: 

  * debian/cryptdisks.functions:
    - wrap the call to /lib/cryptsetup/askpass with watershed, to make sure
      we only ever have one of these running at a time; otherwise multiple
      invocations could steal each other's input and/or write over each
      other's output [...]

* debian/cryptdisks-udev.upstart: new, additional upstart job run once for
    each block device, using the new crypttab_start_one_disk function,
    triggered by udev; this doesn't eliminate the possibility of a race with
    gdm when the decrypted volume isn't a 'bootwait' mount point (since gdm
    kills usplash), but it does eliminate the race between udev and
    cryptsetup.

Kind Regards,
Flummy
