How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot computer
2. Use the 2.6.27.4-58.fc10.i686 kernel

  
Actual results: System attempts to load the system but fails.


Expected results: System should prompt for a passphrase to unlock the LUKS partition.

This bug is related to bug #468887.
Comment 2 Brian Jedsen 2008-10-31 17:00:36 UTC 
I have this very problem, it appears the install hooks to make the initrd work aren't. The relevant kernel modules are not loaded and the plymouth passphrase/cryptsetup lines are missing from the initrd, as if the install process missed that the system is encrypted.
Comment 3 eric 2008-11-05 12:44:49 UTC 
I think this has been fixed in the latest kernel release.
Comment 4 Peter Reuschlein 2008-11-05 12:55:51 UTC 
yes, problem seems to be fixed within the last update
