[Bug 284904] [NEW] Full disk encryption intrepid install fails to boot

[Muharem Hrnjadovic]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

I installed (from scratch) the intrepid beta on my trusty Dell D630
(using the ubuntu-8.10 beta alternate amd64 CD).

I installed with full disk encryption (only /boot is unencrypted and on a
separate partition (/dev/sda3), the rest is all on /dev/sda6).

After the upgrade the system will not boot properly and I end up at the
initramfs prompt.

Typing in the following commands will enable the box to boot:

{{{
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda6 whatever
lvm vgchange -a y
exit
}}}

I also needed to uncomment the single line in /etc/crypttab

{{{
# sda6_crypt /dev/disk/by-uuid/15015193-11ef-4a98-8c5d-e551dae18fed none luks
}}}

since it resulted in subsequent boot errors.

Here's some more information about the system:

Any ideas how this can be fixed?
