Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evms
I have an encrypted root partition that works with the standard
"cryptroot" script in the cryptsetup package. I then installed evms,
then on booting, cryptsetup compained that it couldn't decrypt the key
for the root partition. I don't remember the exact message, but to me
it seemed to relate to a kernel module (possibly aes-256).
I used another kernel to boot (which didn't have evms in its initrd),
removed evms, ran update-initramfs -k..., and everything is back to
normal.
I don't have plans to use evms so this problem no longer affects me, but
I thought you might want to know about this.
