I have an encrypted block device, `/dev/sda2', which is
mounted as my root filesystem. I recently installed this
system -- I've been away from Gentoo for awhile -- and used
gentoo sources 2.6.31-r6. When the kernel upgrade rolled
around, to 2.6.32-r7, I installed and rebooted and then my
passphrase didn't work anymore. The error message:
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.
However, rebooting with my old kernel works fine so I'm not
sure what the problem is. Could it be a different version of
`cryptsetup'? When the device can't be opened on boot, I have
the option to drop to a shell. I try to run `cryptsetup' and I
get the same error -- so maybe that's my problem? Would
different versions of `cryptsetup' be incompatible with
devices encrypted by older versions? That seems brittle and
dangerous to me.
