Doesn't Debian's initramfs bring up udev and let you use the /dev/disk/by-*/ symlinks in crypttab? That's a *LOT* better way to find this drive (in your case, by-id might work, and by-uuid will almost definitely work, assuming a new-enough udev that can find the UUID of a LUKS volume). Maybe poke around in /dev/disk when you're at the busybox prompt, and see what you can find. (If it doesn't bring up udev and let you use those symlinks, then ... why not? :-P Not a question for you obviously, but more for the Debian maintainers.) Anyway, then you don't care which sd* name is given to this device, since you're using an explicitly-guaranteed-stable name for it. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
