Comments/Problems:

Attempted to install an encrypted LVM system on a USB-attached hard
drive.  Tried to do as "vanilla" an install as possible, accepting the
defaults where I could.  One non-default is that I wrote GRUB to
(hd1,0), the USB drive, instead of the default since I didn't want to
disturb the primary drive which has an encrypted Windows installation.

Everything appeared to go OK but the system can't boot.  It reaches
the GRUB menu but when GRUB tries to boot the kernel I don't get
prompted for a password and I get:

Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xde
Kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-686 root=/dev/mapper/mm177490--pc-root ro
Error 17. Cannot mount the selected partition.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
