Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): the updates as of this date. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the system 2. get to the place where the password prompt for encrypted volumes should be displayed 3. it is displayed, but the screen keeps scrolling. 3 additional messages are displayed. hub 1-0:1.0: hub_suspend usb usb1: bus auto-suspend usb usb1: suspend_rh Expected results: that you can type the password right after the prompt instead of having this confusing set of messages, which at first meant that I thought that the boot hand hung. If you do type in the passwrd everything else works. Additional info:
Not sure this is fixable without just nuking the kernel messages entirely.
Having quiet on in the final should "help", but mostly due to the fact that the messages don't appear :)
As a comment and suggestion how about a couple of blank lines before the prompt. That should at least make it stand out a little more and make it less confusing if this occurs. It also would help make it stand out and be easier to spot that user interaction is needed even if no other issues are in place.
This seems to be fixed in beta
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Tried this with the production release and it seems to be fixed there too. Comment 3 would still be nice, but that is probably more of a RFE for version 10 or something. Seems to be to be time to close this one.
based on comment #4 and my personal experience with F9 encrypted block devices I'm closing this issue.
