There are too many variables to support this reliably." yaird uses /etc/crypttab to figure out how to access an encrypted root filesystem (what modules to load, what parameters to cryptsetup needs to open the device...). Unfortunately for you yaird is unable to handle keyfiles. In my experience it is also virually impossible to tell yaird what do do. Either it can handle thinks automagically or you're out of luck. So I would suggest you try initramfs-tools. michael
