[Bug 139057] Re: Should try given password for next partition

[Florent Xicluna]

I have the same issue with Jaunty.
Here is the script to try same password for next device.

You can patch the file in place, or copy the file to "/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/" before to patch it: it will override the file in "/usr/share".
Then run "sudo update-initramfs -u".
