I had similar problem. I was unable to boot with new kernel and update- initrams -u -k all caused that I couldn't also boot with old kernel. At the end I tried to completly reinstall grub and all kernels through a live cd - that did a trick. All works now. Here's short list of steps I did. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147608&p=12661995#post12661995 Doesn't matter there's nothing about luks there. I have luks + lvm and all that worked. I didn't write that in that thread to simplify procedure.
I have also one notice. Having luks it's very important to check /etc/crypttab. First parameter should be single name (and not device path), second should be UUID of *encrypted* partition. Next two usually have null and luks. Once I had problems having in /etc/crypttab UUID of decrypted partition instead of encrypted. Notice also that first parameter must match all other stuff like ones in /etc/fstab. More over I found on some debian forum that restarting luks/lvm from live cd, by chrooting to your unbooting system and performing update- initrams and some other magic things, before chroot you should mount whole your system just like it's expected in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab. So all names should be same as ones in that file - i.e. if you luksOpen your partition then it should look like: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXY <FIRST PARAMETER FROM /etc/crypttab>. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003309 Title: Boot fails after installing updates, error: “cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
