I'm not really sure, if this can be the reason, and I haven't tested it yet. But can this probably be an issue with the keymap? Hussam, do you have keymap in the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf? Maybe you could try to remove it and enter the passphrase with the standard us keymap. You should of course write down the correct keys you have to press, if you don't use a US keyboard. Heiko
