I have dozens of those encrypted dvds, I can try another. That one in
particular I read from 10.2 without problems a week ago.

Ok... it works. All of them. It was my fault. Between two of the tests I
forgot I had replaced the encrypted dvd with the 10.3 dvd.
The problem were the kernel modules. I had to reboot due to a kernel
update this morning, and after that I went right away to this thing, and
forgot to exchange the dvd. Ough.

Yes, good idea. I have done that other times and it helps a lot in
determining the problem. It just didn't occur to me this time. I must be
tired.
Mine are not iso images, but xfs images, burnt directly.

I don't follow this part :-?
