I tried to install 12.04 but I ran into some issues. The installer seems buggy, it used the wrong EFI partition and failed to install grub, but I was still able to boot it by re-using the 13.10 grub install, and I think the install is okay. Unfortunately 12.04 doesn't seem to have drivers for my ethernet controller, so I couldn't connect to the internet and update (this was already the case with the live as well). I did the test anyway based on the packages that came with the CD (that was the very first 12.04 I believe, not 12.04.2).

It turns out ecryptfs on 12.04 does not load the aesni_intel module (I suppose it didn't support it yet). Because of that it does not crash. I tried loading the aesni_intel module manually, but this does not seem to make a difference (ecryptfs probably doesn't use it).

So technically this is a regression from 12.04, but only because 12.04 didn't use aesni_intel yet.

My previous installation *did* use aesni_intel without problems (but with different hardware).
