On my laptop I have full disk encryption using dmcrypt. LVM on top of that and my swap inside an LV. My initramfs does the following: - decrypts the disk using a typed in password - enables LVM - passes the swap partition to kernel resume - if resume doesn't start, it will mount the partitions and initiates proper boot Passing the swap partition requires identifying some codes that can differ every boot. I can post my script if you think it will help? -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
