Bug#348147: more support for source.me (or other cryptoroot-enabling capacity)



Hi,

i also need this feature, or else some other viable alternative to get
cryptoroot support into an initramfs-tools-created initrd.  This is
keeping me from running an up-to-date kernel, and nearly caused major
trouble for a machine i maintain.

i had a valid initrd created by initrd-tools that did cryptoroot
support just fine for kernel 2.6.12.  initramfs-tools actually
overwrote the functioning initrd for that kernel, and replaced it with
one that refuses to boot [0].  Fortunately, i had an old spare initrd
lying around that i could swap in to get things bootstrapped.  I still
have not gotten 2.6.15 working properly on this machine.

I'm happy to test any proposals people have that will enable
cryptoroot support in initramfs-tools.  David Hardeman's is the only
concrete patchset i've seen, yet it seems to have met with some
resistance here.  Are there alternate proposals that i should test
instead?

Thanks for all your work on kernel packaging for debian!
