Yes, I'm using evms volumes, some of them are encrypted with cryptsetup, but I'm having the same problem on another machine without evms (same configuration except for device names /dev/evms/* that are substituded by /dev/hd??). When the boot fails and I am on a busybox shell, I can do mount /dev/mapper/croot /root -t ext3 and then the boot process continues correctly. All works correctly if I patch /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot and /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local respectively with the 2 patches in attachment (copied from earlier versions of cryptsetup and initramfs-tools).
