[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#554506: cryptsetup: unable to find root volume

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.1.0~rc2-1
Severity: normal

I can confirm this bug on my platform, but I am not sure if it is
related to UUIDs. I only run into this issue if I set my SATA controller
to operate in AHCI mode and it works fine when I use the "Compatibility"
mode. The same bug also occurs if I use the following crypttab:

,-- /etc/crypttab ---
| sda3_crypt /dev/sda3 none luks
`---

I tried mounting the lv groups from a Live CD (grml) in AHCI mode and it
works as expected (maybe incomplete set of commands):

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 sda3_crypt
# vgscan
# lvchange -ay /dev/kikutani
# mount /dev/mapper/kikutani-{root,home} /mnt/target/{,home}

If you need further information please do no hesitate to contact me.

regards
