[SOLVED] linux-ck with LVM on encrypted block device

Hi,

Following all the good things I've read about the linux-ck kernel, I have tried to install the atom version from repo-ck on my netbook.

I have an encrypted block device which is used as a PV for LVM. My root partition is a LV on the associated volume group.

With the linux-ck kernel, my root partition is not detected (it says waiting for /dev/sda2, which is the encrypted PV).

After diffing the stock arch .config and the -ck .config, I saw that some things like crypto are compiled as modules in -ck.

I tried rebuilding the linux-ck init image with all theses modules in the MODIULES section of mkinitcpio.conf (MODULES="udlfb dm_crypt cryptd sd_mod dm_mod ablk_helper aes_i586 aes_generic"), but it hasn't helped.

What am I missing ?

My /boot/grub/menu.lst CK entry was loading the wrong init image... I had the epiphany after typing my post, so maybe it wasn't completely useless. I need to get a rubber duck
