I'm not just trying to set up my machine. That's easy, done it already. I'm trying to come up with a simple plug in for Debian boot scripts that will work correctly whether you boot into a crypto kernel or not. It's all figured except I've got the ordering problem as stated. That's a different and harder task, one not covered by any existing HOWTO. - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
