Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 527426
(plymouth) No text prompt for encryption password (but keyboard input is accepted)
Last modified: 2009-10-26 23:00:18 EDT
Description of problem: When booting an encrypted system that does not have KMS available, there is no text prompt for the encryption password. The boot just stops with a blank screen. Entering the password and pressing Return continues the boot, so if you know that's why it's paused it's OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): plymouth-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.3.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100%
the same here, with plymouth-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.9.fc12.x86_64 if esc is pressed when there is blank screen waiting for passphrase, the passphrase prompt shows up

.12.fc12 did not fix this issue.
Same here. Updated the initrd with dracut, but no password prompt.
Oh, it works fine now. The kernel update must have done something I didn't do when testing before.
I don't think it's fixed. Warren showed it to me still broken, and I've got a stream of dupes coming in daily that I plan to dupe to this report when I get to triaging them.
It's fixed for me too
I spent some time trying to reproduce this today, as well, and was unsucessful. I'm going to close this one out. If anyone still sees this, please reopen.
