Boot without initrd when using full-disk encryption

[Arthur Machlas <arthur.machlas@gmail.com>]

I've built kernels without an initrd a number of times, but never
before on a system with full-desk encryption. When installing Squeeze
on a laptop I used the assisted setup and created a ful-disk
encryption setup, that has a separate /boot partition, the rest of the
disk LVM and whatever encryption type is standard.

Now that I'm tweaking my kernel, I'm wondering if there are any
special extra steps to be concerned about, beyond merely building in
the modules for LVM and luks or what-not.

Google is being uncooperative, so I turn here for help instead.

Many thanks,
