[Bug 454507] [NEW] Upgrade of encrypted Jaunty to Karnic results in non bootable system

[Gero Mudersbach]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

Upgrading a kubuntu jaunty system which has been installed with the
alternate installation cd and is fully encrypted with luks (cryptsetup)
to karnic beta results in an unbootable system. Upon restart the system
waits for some time and then drops to BusyBox with the following error
message:

Boot froCheck cryptopts=source= bootarg cat /proc/cmdlinec20f
Startingor missing modules, devices: cat /proc/moduules ls /dev
-r ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/8a3cb1e8-2981-4aab-863f-216bcb8611de does not exist.
 Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) .....

The dist-upgrade to karnic beta was done via "update-manager -d" (gnome
upgrade tool, although it was a kubuntu installation)

Expected results:
Propper uppgrade of grub information and initramfs, so that the system prompts for a password and then boots normally.
