Ok. Then there's left the error produced by evms_activate after doing
what it needed to do ("libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for
pthread_cancel to work\nAborted") which I mentioned in my original
report, perhaps that's something that needs to be added to initramfs?

Ah, ok, now I think I know what the reason is. I have nothing in my
crypttab, in fact I had forgotten that such a file exists :) My bad.
(I did a manual conversion to crypted so it's not a debian-installer
fault either.)

Now I note that there's a README.initramfs, I think I only read
README.Debian. I see that crypttab is mentioned there.

Sorry, it was an RTFM bug :)
