Comment 1 for bug 454898

I confirm the problem on a EEE 901A.
I use an encrypted SD card for my home folder, and even if /etc/crypttab is configured correctly I usually do not get a prompt at the splash screen.
However, I said "usually": sometimes I DO get the prompt as it should be, typically when starting encrypted partitions is delayed by some reason, such as a fsck of the root partition.
So if I have to guess it is really a timing issue.
