Package: dracut Version: 102-3 Severity: important This system has been booting with a dracut-generated initramfs for several years. i ran into some trouble with the systemd 256 transition, but that was resolved. today, i tried to reboot and found that the dracut-generated initramfs was unable to find cryptsetup in a way that would unlock the local encrypted disk.
I do not have systemd-cryptsetup installed, but i do have cryptsetup
installed, and the root filesystem is derived from an LVM logical volume
extracted from an lvm physical volume based on a dmcrypt LUKS volume.
I've now uninstalled dracut and moved to initramfs-tools. while the
initramfs-tools-generated initramfs is twice the size of the
dracut-generated initramfs, it does contain the utilities i need to get
the system to boot again.
I'm willing to debug further if it would help. This was a pretty nasty
failure, as it made the machine completely unbootable.
