Hi!
Seems I´m stuck with this :-(
Root encryption with partition table works fine but the initial ramdisk for partition-free encryption throws an error message pointing to line 34 of loopcrypt.

This here is suspicious to me:
PLAIN=$(cat "/upscript.gpg" | gpg --decrypt --no-tty --quiet --passphrase-fd 8 8<<<"$PASS")
How many < are supposed to be there? 1, 2, 3 or even more? Running this script/passage alone should de-crypt my key but it fails all the time to do so. I´ll take a deeper look into the manuals. Maybe I´ll find out by myself. Hope so.
Kind regards
Peter
