Re: Help booting a gpg encrypted loop-aes backed root partition

What console are you using?  Looks to me like you're hooked up to the
VGA console, but the bootloader/initrd set their output to a serial
console, or vice versa.

Are you sure it hangs?  Is there a kernel panic (i.e. num, scroll, &
caps locks blink in unison), does an expected service not come up,
or...?

If you haven't disabled it, try hitting 'ctrl-alt-del' when you think
you have it hung - chances are you'll get a summary reboot, indicating
your console is pointing where you don't expect it or can't see it.
There are other things that could cause this problem (or cause
ctrl-alt-del to fail), but the most likely explanation is your
'console=' kernel argument.
