[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#554506: can confirm these bug

[Andreas Jacob]

Hello list-users

When I running in to these problem, i used a available grml live CD
(grml64_2009.10 - kernel 2.6.31.5
http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2009.10/) to fix the problem.

Within the live-CD i
- opened the luks partiotion
- mounted the lvm logical volumes
- mount -o bind /dev /mnt/chroot/dev
- mount -o bind /sys /mnt/chroot/sys
- mount -o bind /proc /mnt/chroot/proc
- chrooted into /mnt/chroot
- update-initramfs -k all -u
- get a working initrd

The only difference between the initrd created when chrooting with help of
the live-CD and the pure system should be found within /dev or /proc  or
/sys. As mentioned above, grml 2009.10 uses kernel 2.6.31.5, where the
actual squeeze kernel is: 2.6.32-5. May be there is a different handling of
UUIDs in later kernels?

The cryptroot file, created within the working initrd contains the following
line:
target=cryptedlvm,source=UUID=89569373-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx,key=none,rootdev,lvm=vgmolchi-lvrootdir
