I managed to get down to my data. Using the Debian NetInstall CD I booted into rescue mode Select language, territory and keyboard as applicable to you. Cancel network autoconfig, if that does not work for you (for me that is the case), and enter appropriate data. Select any hostname and domain System will then come up and ask for the passphrases of the single disks, do *not* enter your passphrase there, just continue. Select "Do not use a root file system" Select "Execute a shell in the installer environment" Then use the commands below (preceded by #) to bring your vg and lv's online: # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md<x> <vg-name> Enter Passphrase: xxxxx Key Slot x unlocked. # vgscan Reading all physical volumes..... Found volumegroup "x" ..... # vgchange -a y x logical volumes in volume group x now active .... # exit
At this point the rescuemode menu reappears select "choose a different root file system" Select your root and execute a shell - voila you got your data (you may need to enter 'mount -a' in the shell to get all LV's mounted. At this point you can back up your data and reinstall - if you wanted. For me - I backed up and now try some grub2 settings. maybe I can get it back working. Will post if I have success.
