Description mat ali 2013-01-31 13:55:42 CET 
Description of problem:
Mageaia wants to unlock all encrypted partitions during boot. ONly hitting Ctrl+C make the OS boot further.

How reproducible:
Create an encrypted partition on your harddrive, reboot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an encrypted partition on your harddrive
2. Reboot computer
3. Boot Mageia.

Awaited behavior : Only partitions for which a mount point is defined during installation process should be mounted during boot. 
Some partitions are just other OSes or backup partitions that don't have to be mounted on startup. 
For people not knowing the Ctrl+C shortcut, Mageia just won't boot.
At least, if that automatic process is not easily removable, give an advice on how to ignore it. Like : " Press Ctrl+C to ignore "
I only have one encrypted partition, but in cas someone has many of them, displaying the name of that partition (or mount point) would be nice too to know what we are about to unlock.

Comment 4 mat ali 2013-02-01 11:34:57 CET 
Yes, it was the only option as installing from Installation DVD or Netinstall made Xorg unable to start (tried 3 times with and without nonfree repos, I reported that in an old bug report : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5426 about multi CG configurations)
