I changed them to sdb and recompressed the initrd diskimage. So now I would like to try to put something "universal" like UUID into it, but after a fast google session and a search into the man page, it seems cryptsetup cannot understand them. I'll look better in the next week. > davide, > > If grub is booting then this should be an easy fix. > > Grub passes the variable crypt_root= to the initial boot process.
