Description of problem: Booting the previous kernel works fine, but booting new kernel fails to request luks passphrase to decrypt luks encrypted root partition Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.26-0.67.rc6.git1.fc10.i686 How reproducible:Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. At console line: "padlock: VIA Padlock Has Engine not detected." fails 3. Further console lines below. Actual results: Next console lines are: Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/querty/uk.map Command failed: Error opening key file: No such file or directory mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Then it hangs. Expected results: Boot should continue to next phase and ask for luks passphrase Additional info:
2.6.26-0.56.rc5.git2.fc10.i686 boots fine... for this kernel after the console line: Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/querty/uk.map the next line is: Enter LUKS passphrase for /dev/sda8: I will add /var/log/messages shortly.

In comment #2 the log shows boot with 2.6.26-0.56.rc5.git2.fc10 not with 2.6.26-0.67 - my apology. Since the encrypted disc is not mounted there is no log for the boot attempt with that kernel of course.
It looks as though the initrd wasn't created properly. Can you try updating the kernel and mkinitrd and trying again? The VIA padlock message is harmless, since you don't have a VIA cpu (from your /var/log/messages file, it appears to be a Pentium 4?) regards, Kyle
Thanks Kyle - yes you were right - new kernel worked fine.
