[Bug 333073] Re: very slow boot with lvm-on-dmcrypt

[Martin Pool]

Using an Intrepid USB boot device, I can bring the machine up, and it
can see the disk.  I need to manually install cryptsetup and lvm2 into
that environment and modprobe dm_crypt.  I can then run "cryptsetup
luksOpen /dev/sda1", then I can see the pv, vg, and lv.  I can fsck and
mount the filesystem ok.

I tried installing http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-
image-2.6.28-1-386, the only alternative kernel apparently available in
jaunty at the moment.  If I boot that, I get a timeout trying to mount
the root and then dropped into an initramfs shell.  I can from there
manually run cryptsetup again, and it does print many of the
/sys/devices/ messages, but it eventually terminates and says it
succeeded in mounting the device.  I can see it in lvm, but I can't seem
to mount it and I don't get any message beyond "invalid argument" when
trying to mount the lv.

** Summary changed:

- very slow boot with lvm-on-dmcrypt
+ cannot boot with lvm-on-dmcrypt
