Even worse, in my first post I hoped that all that is wrong is that some necessary kernel modules are missing from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules . Now I found that I can run the debian-rescue live-cd which uses the very same kernel (2.6.26-1-686) and I am able to mount the encrypted partition from there; so I tried adding everything lsmod returns there to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and re-run update-initramfs, yet without success. I also tried adding rootdelay=9 to the kernel line in grub/menu.lst as it has been suggested somewhere, but it did not change anything, except that I had to wait 9 seconds for "Waiting for root file system" :( Does anyone have another idea?
