Public bug reported:
I'm running a setup with encrypted LVM on my laptop. Until very
recently, I was prompted for the passphrase to the encrypted partition
(/dev/sda2) early during the boot process, and once it was opened my
volume group (vg00) was activated automatically. Boot would continue
normally until the login screen.
Starting about 2 weeks ago, I stopped being asked for the passphrase.
I'm dropped to a busybox prompt telling me that the root filesystem
can't be found, but it never even tried to open the encrypted partition.
Two simple commands ('cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 main' and 'lvm
vgchange -a y vg00') fix the issue.
So why am I not being prompted for the passphrase like I used to be?
Nothing is actually missing from the initrd, and I actually am prompted
for the passphrase later (far too late) in the boot process. I just
press enter several times until it gives up and everything continues
normally past that.
