Bug#678636: initramfs-tools: dm-crypt partitions not further working. No asking password to encrypt. System will not boot
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.106
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream
Justification: breaks the whole system
After patching my system 3 days ago it will not further boot up. The initramfs
prompt comes before the keypass has to been normally asked for to decrypt my
root partition with the contained lvm root vol disk group.
Before the upgrade been made I didn't hat the problem. I guess this comes with
the upgrade of the initramfs-tools from 0.103 to 0.106.
Work around at the moment is to use cryptsetup luksOpen manually and start all
lvmvolumes before continue with the boot process by using Crtl-D.

This lists both 2.6.32-5 and 3.2.0-2 kernels.
What kernel version do you try to boot, and is its initramfs updated?
By default only most recent kernel does have initramfs updated when updating
packages.
Your setup has many moving parts that can go wrong.
Please list versions of mdadm, dmsetup, libdevmapper*, *cryptsetup*
You are using mixed system, packages may have bugs in their depends, so that
manual updating or bug reporting is maybe needed.

Your raid1 arrays look strange, with only one component device in each.

Hello,
thats ok to simply add an second disk e.g. for online upgrade to a new
disk (as I do at the moment ;-). But this reason is not based for the
problem, because I have this configuration much month configured ago.
But thx for your info notice.
Cheers...

3.2.0-2 is normally the one I start the system.

cryptsetup was the problem. After installing cryptsetup from the testing
release 2:1.4.3-2 and rerunning update-initramfs -k all -u the problem has been
gone.
I found the solution by comparing the installed package source with sent
apt-cache policy command.
So you're right because it looks like a broken dependency or not exitend
dependency. In cryptset there is only shown an suggestion to initramfs-tools.
So I guess it is not a problem of initramfs-tools, more like a problem
between cryptsetup and another packages?
Cheers...
