Hm. <tm>

Apart from the console issue RB described (which should not happen at
all, but I don't know Ubuntu), it could be related to pivot mode and
kernel boot parameters. I don't use pivot mode, here's my config:

#initrd.conf
INITRDONLY=0
USEPIVOT=0
USEDEVFS=0
BOOTDEV=/dev/hdc            # CDROM
BOOTTYPE=iso9660            # lowercase matters
CRYPTROOT=/dev/hda2
GPGKEYFILE=rootkey.gpg
ROOTTYPE=ext3
CIPHERTYPE=AES128
LOADNATIONALKEYB=1
INITIALDELAY=0
DESTINATIONPREFIX=/boot/iso
INITRDGZNAME=initrd.gz

#isolinux.cfg
default test
timeout 100
prompt 1

label test
kernel test2621.5
append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/hda2
