Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.6-1 Severity: critical Hi there!
With the (not so new) cryptsetup version [1], whichever LUKS passhprase
I enter at boot I get the same error with 3 different kernels
(2.6.24-1-amd64, 2.6.25-rc8-amd64 and 2.6.25-trunk-amd64):
=====
device-mapper: table: 254:0: crypt: unknown target type
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.
Command failed: No key available with this passhprase.
=====
This is a bug in cryptsetup_2:1.0.6-1: simply downgrading to the
previous version (2:1.0.6~pre1+svn45-1) is enough to solve it.
Since I thought this could be caused by the default hash being changed
to ripemd160, I (re)read the cryptsetup NEWS.Debian and then guessed I
was OK (I use LUKS and the entire disk encryption has been set up by the
Debian Installer). However, this doesn't seem the case, hence the
severity set to critical.
As in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.initramfs.gz, since I use LUKS my
/etc/crypttab contains a very simple line:
sda2_crypt /dev/sda2 none luks
Thx, bye,

Footnotes:
[1] I vaguely remember having experienced this bug with a 2.6.25-rcX
version when I upgraded cryptsetup, but then I thought it was
related to #466573 [2] and since I hadn't a lot of free time I
switched to a released kernel until the bug appeared on
2.6.24-1-amd64, too. Sorry for not having investigated more before
