Hello,

when I setup following disc strukture

        /       /var    /usr    /home    /misc
,----+--------+-------+-------+--------+--------+----, -----
|    |  ROOT  |  VAR  |  USR  |  HOME  |  MISC  |    |   ^
|    `--------+-------+-------+--------+--------'    |   |
|                                                    |  LVM
|             LVM VG "SYSTEM"                        |   |
|                                                    |   |
+----------------------------------------------------+ -----
|                                                    |
|              hda5_crypt                            | crypt
|                                                    |
+----------------------------------------------------+ -----
|                                                    |
|              /dev/hda5                             | phy. dev
|                                                    |
`----------------------------------------------------' -----

all works fine. The system asks after reboot for the 
passphrase for hda5_crypt and all works. :-)
(The boot- an swap-partition (crypted with random key)
are not displayed in this figure.)

But when I setup following

        /       /var    /usr    /home    /misc
,----+--------+-------+-------+--------+--------+----, -----
|    |  ROOT  |  VAR  |  USR  |  HOME  |  MISC  |    |   ^
|    `--------+-------+-------+--------+--------'    |   |
|                                                    |  LVM
|             LVM VG "SYSTEM"                        |   |
|                                                    |   |
+------------------------+--+------------------------+ -----
|                        |  |                        |
|       hda5_crypt       |  |      hda6_crypt        | crypt
|                        |  |                        |
+------------------------+  +------------------------+ -----
|                        |  |                        |
|       /dev/hda5        |  |      /dev/hda6         | phy. dev
|                        |  |                        |

the installer setups the system correctly. But when the
system reboots the system asks the passphrase only for
hda5_crypt and then the system can not setup the LVM
Volume Group "SYSTEM". The system prints out the message
"Waiting for root file system..
and goes after a timeout in a shell with the prompt
 "(initramfs)".

I test it with the netinstall-CD and also with the DVDs.

Hello,

This bug has been fixed in the meantime. I don't remember anymore, which
commit finally fixed it, but nowadays (cryptsetup 2:1.2.0-2 from
debian/unstable), all required lvm pvs are unlocked in initramfs, as
needed for the rootfs to become available.

greetings,
 jonas
