If it is plain dm-crypt, then your setup script gives it the wrong device. dm-crypt has no way of knowing which device an encrypted partition is on, and it doe not care as it is told from the outside. I am not sure about LUKS, but I think it is device-agnostic as well. > I tought could be a grub problem, but grub can load and find (hd0,3) > where I've my boot partition.

If you have any other USB/SATA device, that may come first. Note that being the first BIOS device does not ensure being numbered sda by the kernel. It may be possible to force the USB device to be sda with a kernel option. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
