What do I need to change to access my encrypted partition in 12.1 and
mount it under /home?

Bob

I've made the relevant entries in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab match in
both the 12.1 system and the 11.4 system.

I can now login to the 12.1 system, and the encrypted partition is now
mounted under /home, BUT I have to guess when to type in the decryption
password as the screen goes blank during the 12.1 boot sequence, between
selecting it from the grub boot menu and the user login prompt
appearing.

So, the question now is, how can I make the boot sequence (dmesg output)
visible on the screen, so that I know when it is asking for the
password?

Bob

Simply hit escape after making your selection from the boot menu.


Or for a permanent change edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the splash=silent option or change it to splash=verbose and put it after the showopts parameter.
