Title:
  [Jaunty] early crypto disk keyfile on usb not found

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04   Release:	9.04
  cryptsetup 2:1.0.6-7ubuntu7
  Linux ubuntuServer 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:45:36 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  After upgrading from intrepid my keyfile on my external usbstick is
  not found anymore so my partitions are not mounted

  During boot i receive now:
  early crypto disk 
  mount: special device
  /dev/sdc does not exist
  keyfile not found

  In order to boot correctly I had to change in the safe mode /etc/crypttab
  from
  var /dev/sdb5 /media/flash/var.key luks,tries=1,timeout=10
  to
  var /dev/sdb5 /media/var.key luks,tries=1,timeout=10 ( where i copied temporarily my keyfile )

  Interestingly when i boot into my desktop and issue df -h i can see and access my usbstick
  /dev/sdc               63M   15M   48M  24% /media/flash
  so it seems it is only a problem with an early mount of my usbstick

  My /etc/fstab
  /dev/mapper/var /var ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0
  /dev/sdc /media/flash vfat uid=0,gid=0,umask=277 0 0

  In my /etc/default/cryptdisks I have this line:
  CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT="/media/flash"
  I also did type update-initramfs -u , but it did not change anything

  When the restart failed after the upgrade I still had in the grub list
  a intrepid kernel (I dont remember which one) that i tried to boot
  with. And the drives where mounted and decrypted correctly although my
  ati drivers where not working correctly anymore of course that is a
  another story. My point is that I believe my configuration is correct
  and the issue seems to be related to my current kernel
