I know this one! The problem is that encrypted servers initrd.img have the
ip addresses set in them. I am not sure why it happens.. but it does.. I
had to manually edit the initrd.img and find all the places where the old
ip addresses were mentioned to make it work. You can't just make a new
initrd because it copies these configs over from the previous one. Pain in
the #@!$% @$$.
