Hello Daniel, Could you try whether cryptsetup 1.0.6-2 fixes the bug? The way how the initramfs prompts for the passphrase has been changes in 1.0.6-2, an external binary called askpass has been introduces by David Härdeman and is used now for passphrase retrieval. We hope that askpass fixes the issue you described here. greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
