Comment 3 for bug 496765

Passphrase cursor is at top left of screen, not in passphrase box when
using cryptsetup in the initramfs. Pretty passphrase box with lock logo shows but is empty.

Cryptsetup worked fine on entering password anyway. No feedback of any kind, but Cryptsetup accepted it and ran. This was with just ONE device, of course. When the correct password is entered, the "solar" theme I use with a replaced logo becomes animated, it is static until then. I will try a deliberate bad passphrase and see if i get a second try.

System:

AMD Phenom X4 with Nvidia 6600LE video card

Here's how I made it work with the Nvidia card:

Remove "--attach-to-session" and "printf '\033[?25l' > /dev/tty7" from /usr/share/initramfs/scripts/init-top/plymouth

use Jaunty version of /usr/share/initramfs/scripts/init-top/framebuffer
