System hangs during boot with 4.4.0-45-generic if cryptab contains a valid entry. Passphrase prompt never seen. Black screen with cursor in upper left corner. Attempts to type passphrase have no effect.

There are two workarounds:
1) Comment out line referring the encrypted partition in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab. Mount the partition manually thereafter.
2) Boot in 4.4.0-42-generic which works as do earlier versions. i.e. the user provides passphrase at the prompt during boot.
