retitle -1 cryptoroot on LVM needs source dev /dev/mapper/* in crypttab
severity -1 normal
thanks

My problem with cryptoroot on LVM turned out to be a different issue, so I'm 
cloning the bug report. I found a workaround/solution:
1. In /etc/crypttab, use
  root    /dev/mapper/kelev-root none             luks
instead of
  root    /dev/kelev/root             none             luks

2. Use root=/dev/mapper/root, i.e., the decrypted device, on the command line.

Not sure if point 1 is documented anywhere, if so I missed it. It should not 
be hard to support both variants though, since the device nodes are 
identical.
