hello sheridan,

please try to provide more detailed information. how did you break your
system? was it caused by a udev upgrade? or a cryptsetup upgrade?

also, did you try to boot with a backup initramfs? try to edit the boot
options in grub to use the backup initramfs file. i.e. if your normal
initramfs is located at /initramfs-2.6.30-1-amd64, then use
initramfs-2.6.30-1-amd64.bak.

once you managed to boot into one of the broken systems again, please do
the following:

- first backup the working initramfs to a secure place

- send the file /tmp/initramfs.log to this bugreport after executing the
  following command:
  # sh -x mkinitramfs -o /tmp/initramfs 2>/tmp/initramfs-log

- in case that your system was broken by an upgrade, try to downgrade
  the packages in question again, regenerate the initramfs afterwards
  and see whether that fixes the bug:
  # update-initramfs -u -c

- try to provide more information in general: content of /etc/crypttab,
  installed versions of cryptsetup, initramfs-tools, udev, kernel, ...

greetings,
 jonas
