Please apply the crypto patch!
Hello, bug #247054 has been open forever.
The previous maintainer and I had prepared it some time ago, and it really
should be applied. It was labelled wishlist when it was first opened because
it was experimental. However, many people are now manually patching their
mkinitrd because the patch is still not merged. This patch has been tested
by many people since then, and has proven to be quite stable.
This is becoming critical, because without the patch, every upgrade of
mkinitrd and the kernel renders the system unbootable! (for people using
cryptoroot) This just happened to me, ... again.
Also, there is a regression in the lvm handling which Herbert Xu fixed
months ago. It now again spews error messages during vgchange. They are
non-fatal, but extremely amature looking.
What is going on?
