First of all, the 'Volume group "root" not found' warning is harmless. 
The reason that you see it is that your luks volume is called 
"root-crypted", which corresponds to /dev/mapper/root-crypted which 
is the same device name that a lvm LV named "crypted", in VG "root", 
would get. 

Therefore the lvm script attempts to bring upp the "root" VG and 
fails...ignore it.

Second, cryptsetup already contains code to call evms_activate if the 
underlying device is a evms device. The real problem here is that no 
crypto-device configuration has been written to /conf/conf.d/cryptroot. 
This means that the cryptsetup hook script did not believe that your 
root device involved crypto for some reason.

Could you please provide me with the contents of your /etc/crypttab and 
/etc/fstab?
