Bug#594472: grub-pc: scary messages and very long boot time after upgrade

So after all this was just mdadm bug #583917 combined with the fact that
you used to wrong name (compared to /etc/cryptsetup) when unlocking the
crypto device manually. This of course caused the cryptsetup initramfs
hook to break when recreating the initramfs. As a consequence, your
cryptroot didn't get unlocked during early boot stage. Correct?

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz

PS: You should revert /etc/cryptab to the state it had before all the
    debugging (i.e. with "UUID="). You should also revert the change you
    made to the cryptsetup initramfs hook, for example like this:
       apt-get --reinstall install cryptsetup
