I examined the /boot/initrd-* file that was produced, extracted it, and noted it did not contain /sbin/cryptsetup, which seemed wrong. Not sure what other information I can provide to help figure out what is wrong though... it sounds like you think this might still be a bug in grub-install ? I'd be glad to run a snapshot of grub-install or poke around in there if you want to give me some pointers (I am a fairly experienced software dev, but haven't done a lot of C/C++ in a while) Thanks! > > -- > Len Sorensen -- Carl Myers PGP Key ID 3537595B PGP Key fingerprint 9365 0FAF 721B 992A 0A20 1E0D C795 2955 3537 595B
