Bug#541234: initramfs-tools: legacylvm misses 'lvm' required by cryptroot
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Regenerate the initramfs using update-initramfs on Lenny without lvm2 with
encrypted root results in an unbootable image. Investigation showed that
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot requires 'lvm'
but /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/legacylvm copies only vgchange.
The patch which follows fixed this for me.
