That was really the reason, wrong UUID and therefore cryptsetup failed
since it didn't find the correct partition. The first visible error
message "cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available" was kinda
misleading.
So toobuntu and Eric, check that you have correct UUID.
You can check and fix it by booting from a live CD, mount your /boot
partition and then extract the initramfs (after first copying it to a
temporary directory):
gunzip -c -9 initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic | cpio -i -d -H newc --no-
absolute-filenames
Check and fix conf/conf.d/cryptroot (the source parameter, I corrected
the UUID by replacing it with correct /dev/sdaX).
Then pack the initramfs again:
find . -print0 | cpio --null -ov --format=newc | gzip -9 > your-new-
initramfs.cpio.gz
Then backup your old initramfs and copy the new to the correct location.
Reboot, and hope this fixes things also for you. :)
