Hm, I feel a bit stupid now; I retried it and I don't manage to produce the kernel oops anymore. Instead the system boots fine, but it seems that additional ENTER presses help the system to go further. It is a bit poking in the dark since the screen remains dark at this point.
I believe that the root filesystem wasn't mounted because I've seen error messages that indicated this. If I see them again I'll do a screenshot and attach them to this bug. For now, I'm marking this bug as invalid until I have further information. ** Changed in: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- install plymouth breaks "root on crypted LVM" systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
