Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Using the lenny-rc1 xfce-cd1 image I attempted to use rescue mode to operate on 
an encrypted lvm which is detected and mounts fine with the regular boot 
system.  It was created using a previous version of lenny's installer (but I 
don't remember which one).

I suspect the problem may be related to the fact that when I initially created 
the filesystem there was a usb key drive in the system.  OTOH I have tried 
rescue mode both with and without the key to no avail.

It may matter that I have modified crypttab to use 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/the-uuid-of-the-luks-partition and that the name of the crypt 
volume has been changed from the default.

I have tried with luksOpen /dev/disk/by-uuid/uuid-of-luks crypt_name and get a 
message which states that cryptsetup failed because there was no key with the 
entered password, however I have entered the password multiple times.

Could it matter that it is a logitech internet keyboard and not a plain vanilla 
keyboard?

Please let me know what other information I can send that would help.

Regards,

Daniel
