Uhm... not totally sure as I only had a first short glance on it (so I
hope not to step on Bastian's toes ;) )... but the lvm2 initramfs-script
from Debian's lvm2 package somehow to set up the VGs/LVs... which is
fine, expect you have fully encrypted fs (with boot on USB stick),...
and you have a dm-crypt device on top of LVM.
Not sure why he simply doesn't do a vgchange -an or so,.. but will ask
him.

Then my root is /dev/mapper/root or so,... and the script has it's
problem.


Cheers,
Chris.
