Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.7.3-4 Severity: normal I'm trying to re-use the system initramfs in a virtual machine. This mostly works, except that cryptsetup's initramfs hooks run at the end of the initramfs and try to wait for the device they expect to have provided, as configured in /conf/conf.d/cryptroot .
Could you please provide a command-line parameter to disable the cryptsetup hook entirely for a given boot? (Even better if cryptsetup could automatically infer this somehow from the use of other parameters to set up an alternate root, such as root=r rootfstype=9p .) I did manage to find a workaround, namely "cryptopts=." , which produces this error: Begin: Mounting root file system ...
