Can't boot after upgrade from lucid to precise, cause cryptroot in initrd.img is missing

[Keywan Tonekaboni]

Hi,

I upgrade yesterday from lucid to precise using "update-manager -d" and following the steps. After the reboot I had a broken grub (just a grub shell, no entries). I started my computer with xubuntu live cd and fixed it via chroot and grub-install, update-grub.

After another reboot, the grub menu was fixed, but it couldn't find root, even didn't ask for passphrase.

I found out, that there is no cryptroot in conf/conf.d/ inside the init.rd image.

I need to put dm-crypt in /etc/modules before update-initramfs fixed the conf. As far as I know and what I saw in my backups in lucid there was no need for that.

If I'm right, there should be a procedure which checks if the actual system would boot after update e.g. checkin for dm-crypt in /etc/modules.

I use lvm2 and LUKS
