A newer Proxmox update obviously makes (some?) encrypted systems unbootable.
I have been running a fully encrypted Proxmox System (incl. root) for several weeks now without any problems (using a 3ware raid controller).
But today I tried to reboot and the reboot failed: Instead of showing the password prompt the system waits a little an then reports that it cannot find any lvm volumes. (When I use the Grub entry for the non-pve-kernel everything works fine. )
To find the reason for this problem I made a fresh install on the same machine but on another set of harddisks:
I installed Debian Squeeze 64 bit on a manually configured fully encrypted lvm (as I did successfully many times before) and rebooted.
After that I added the Proxmox Repository to sources.list and made an "aptitude update" and "upgrade".
Three packages were upgraded:
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ squeeze/pve libdevmapper1.02.1 amd64 2:1.02.74-1pve2 [128 kB]
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ squeeze/pve dmsetup amd64 2:1.02.74-1 pve2 [68,8 kB]
http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ squeeze/pve lvm2 amd64 2.02.95-1pve2 [575 kB]
After that I tried to reboot and had the same problem as before: No password prompt, just a message that no logical volumes were found.
Obviously one of these three packages causes the encrypted system not to boot any more.
What can I do now?
