maybe it's a hardware issue?

Markus, did you change anything in /etc/default/cryptdisks? otherwise
the default check script in 2:1.0.6-7 was 'vol_id', which does nothing
more than '/lib/udev/vol_id -t $dev'. Just give it a try manually:

# /lib/udev/vol_id -t /dev/mapper/cryptofs

Do you have custom udev rules?

Please could you change the shebang line (first script line) of
/etc/init.d/cryptdisks-early to '#!/bin/sh -x' to see where exactly the
long delay happens? be warned that a lot of debugging messages will be
printed to boot screen.

greetings,
 jonas
