Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
in lucid latest updates installed on boot:
i have an encrypted homes partitions and today the main partition got automatically checked on boot.
first the disk check info is displayed, and then a few seconds later it is overlapped with the password entry field of cryptsetup.
the first problem is that you cannot see the progress of the disk check anymore, until you input the password and press enter.
the second problem is that password input is getting very hard because half of the keypresses get magically discarded

The missing keypresses were bug #540256, which is now resolved.
Why is it important to see the progress of the disk check at the same time as you're being asked to input your password? You can't take any action on the disk check until after entering your passphrase anyway, so shouldn't it be sufficient to only show one thing at a time here?
