Hello SUSE users, I encrypted my laptop's hard disc using instructions from http://en.opensuse.org/ Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO. (To be short, I now have LUKS- encrypted filesystems, and also a custom initrd image, which asks me for password before every boot. I created the initrd image using a pached mkinitrd script.)
In my infinite stupidity, I decided that I need another kernel. I downloaded kenel's rpm version, and it promptly overwrited my custom initrd image. Now, when I boot my laptop, I am greeted with a message that my encrypted (cryptsetup-LUKS) filesystem is unknown, and can't be mounted. I tried to boot from CD using Knoppix, and execute mkinitrd from it, but it failed as it can't find /etc/sysconfig/kernel (It's obvious that Knoppix does not have this folder). I can mount my encrypted filesystems from Knoppix, so the question now is which command line parameters should I give mkinitrd so that it correctly creates initrd - finds my kernel and copies it to my boot (unencrypted) partition I would really appreciate any ideas or suggestions!
