[Bug 362315] Re: udev fails to identify crypt_LUKS partition by uuid

[JanG]

For experienced users Karel Zak has a fix available at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2568 .
Remember backing up your data!

Another workaround could be modifying your /etc/crypttab from /dev/disk
/by-uuid/## to /dev/sdXX.

If your stuck at boot with "Gave up waiting for root device. . . . Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/## does not exist. Dropping to a shell", you can simply type this:
$ ln -s /dev/sdXX /dev/disk/by-uuid/##
$ exit

As there will be no automatic fix available until karmic gets released
and it may affect users upgrading from jaunty, it should be mentioned in
the "Knows issues" list!
