Bug 489321

plymouth-0.7.0-0.2009.03.06.fc11.i586

I am unable to unlock my encrypted /home partition.  / is NOT encrypted.  I boot in text mode, kms does not work with this video card.

Things act a bit differently depending on if I hit 'esc' before it requests my password.  If I do not hit escape I get the prompt at the bottom of the screen (not cleanly in the the middle like I expect.)  When I type my pword I get *** like I expect.  When I hit enter at the end it just sorta sits there.  If I hit escape at that point it complains about a bad file descripter switching to some boot splash screen.  If I hit esc again it starts moving again, but fails to mount /home since it wasn't unencrypted and drops into maint.  I cannot enter my pword in the maintenence window, since every key stroke causes the request for pword to appear on a new line.

If I hit esc very early I get something a bit different.  When I type my pword it actually appears on the screen.  When I hit enter it say "*error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon" and it continues to boot.  It fails and drops into maint mode.  In this case I am able to enter my root pw.  Thankfully this allows me to edit my /etc/fstab and remove /home so I can at least start the machine.

I downgraded plymouth to plymouth-0.6.0-3.fc11.i586 and installed a new kernel which should have built and all new initrd.  This worked fine.
