I hope that the tilte is correct.
I have encrypted a sdcard using cryptsetup.
During the boot sequence, it does not ask for the password. I fail to find an error message in the logs.

I think my config is ok because /etc/init.d/cryptdisks start does work:
* Starting remaining crypto disks...
* data (starting)
Enter passphrase to unlock the disk /dev/mmcblk0p1 (data):
(I enter the password)
key slot 0 unlocked.
Command successful.
data (started)... [ OK ]

and then, "mount -a" mounts the encrypted partition.

It looks like cryptsetup starts *before* /dev/mmcblk0p1 is created.
That would explain why cryptsetup fails to see my encrypted disk at boot time.

My config files:
crypttab:
# <target name> <source device> <key file> <options>
data /dev/mmcblk0p1 none luks

fstab:
/dev/mapper/data /home/gnata/data ext4 defaults 0 1
