I'm talking exactly about booting from an encrypted usb volume. This is implemented as following scenario: 1. cryptsetup luksOpen $cryptsource $root 2. sleep $rootdelay 3. mount $root But it doesn't work for USB devices, because cryptsetup is called too early. In such case there is missing following step: 0. sleep $cryptsourcedelay and my patch implements such step. Without this additional delay there is no possibility to boot from USB device. The kernel version is no matter. -- .''`.
