If i got it right, your statement is untrue. rootdelay is implemented in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udev, which is executed before any cryptsetup action is done in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot. According to the initramfs-tools manpage, init-premount scripts are executed before local-top, so sleep $rootdelay (2) is invoked before cryptsetup luksOpen (1). If rootdelay doesn't work for you, you might raise the value. If you still object, then please proof that I'm wrong. > and my patch implements such step.

The kernel version is no > matter. your delay is implemented at the top of local-top/cryptroot, which still is executed after init-premount/udev, so all you do is implementing yet another delay at the same place (between start of udev and start of cryptsetup). greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
