"red-dwarf" is a previous LVM PV name. It looks like I have some cruft left over from a previous installation in the file: /etc/initramfs- tools/conf.d/cryptroot. I just deleted it.
I am booted into a backup installation (12.04) on a different hard disk. I am unable / don't_know_how to boot into the updated installation. I manually mounted the 13.10 (previously 13.04) installation. To generate a new initramfs, i did the following. I mounted the 13.10 installation at /media/new_root. Then # for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do mount -B $i /media/new_root$i; done # chroot /media/new_root I added CRYPTSETUP='y' to /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf # update-initramfs -u -k 3.11.0-11-generic update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-11-generic cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab for XYZ - cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab for XYZ - ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/tmp/mkinitramfs_162yAK/bin/sleep’: File exists The errors: "cryptsetup: ..." have been there for years, and have not prevented successful update of initramfs. Last I researched this issue I found no solution. The last error "ln: failed..." is new. # lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-11-generic | grep cryptsetup yields no results. # update-initramfs -c -k 3.11.0-11-generic # -c vs -u fails likewise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1237556 Title: cryptsetup removed from initrd.img on upgrade to 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1237556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
