CVS says /etc/crypttab was last changed on March 15.'find /etc/initramfs-tools/ -type f | xargs ls -lt' says the newest file in /etc/initramfs-tools was changed on Feb 2.
The error message I am seeing occurs when some stage boot loader or the kernel (?) is prompting for the passphrase to decrypt the root partition. So, root is not mounted and /etc is not available.
I can boot the previous kernel, so the LUKS file structures on disk are okay.
The error is repeatable if I insert the drive into another machine with a different model motherboard.
A different system drive with the 4.0.9-12 kernel and LUKS root works in that machine.
I have several other Debian systems. They all upgraded to kernel 4.9.0-12 and LUKS root works correctly.
My guess is that:
/boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-12-amd64
was built wrong by the kernel upgrade post install script (?).
I have filed a bug report:
