/boot is not full. infinity tracked this problem to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot. Adding set -x to that script gives the following output: > /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /tmp/junk.img 2.6.17-5-686 + PREREQ= + prereqs + echo + exit 0 + PREREQ= + . /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions + get_root_device + [ -r /etc/fstab ] + grep ^[^#] /etc/fstab + read device mount type options dump pass + [ / = / ] + echo /dev/mapper/vg0-ub_root + return + rootdev=/dev/mapper/vg0-ub_root + [ -z /dev/mapper/vg0-ub_root ] + node=vg0-ub_root + [ vg0-ub_root != /dev/mapper/vg0-ub_root ] + opts= + node_is_in_crypttab vg0-ub_root + local node + node=vg0-ub_root + grep -q ^vg0-ub_root /etc/crypttab + return 1 + get_lvm_device vg0-ub_root + local node majorminor + node=vg0-ub_root + [ -z vg0-ub_root ] + dmsetup deps vg0-ub_root + sed s/[^:]*: *(\([0-9]*\), *\([0-9]\).*/\1 \2/ + majorminor=8 4 + echo 8 4 + cut -d -f1 + major=8 + echo 8 4 + cut -d -f2 + minor=4 + dmsetup info -c --noheadings -j 8 -m 4 Command failed + cut -d : -f 1 + depnode= + echo + lvmtest= + [ -z ] + exit 0
