Comment 29 for bug 1336659

@Andy - I do not get dropped into buysbox. I end up sitting at a purpleish screen saying "Ubuntu" with the 4-dots cycling left to right and a white font saying, “cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available". In other words, it looks very much like a proper decrypt-prompt, but with the wrong text.

Alt-F1 does drop me into busybox. I am also able to drop myself into busybox during the boot with the working kernel. Comparing the two:

In the non-working case, there are no "disks/by-label" or "disks/by-uuid" directories. The "disks/by-path" directory is missing three of what should be seven entries:

pci-0000:02:06.0-sas-0x500e81000011bd5-lun-0
pci-0000:02:06.0-sas-0x500e81000011bd5-lun-0-part1
pci-0000:02:06.0-sas-0x500e81000011bd5-lun-0-part2

The "disks/by-id" directory is missing all the "md-name" and "md-uuid" entries and is missing half of the "ata-" "scsi-" and "wwn-" entries.

I am guessing that I am missing one of my disks on the non-working kernel. The system has two Western Digital 1TB disks (in a RAID), each on a different controller. One is on the main controller on the board, and the other is on a PCI-X based (SATA/SAS) controller. I am looking at what is missing under "disks/by-path" and, because of the "sas" there, wondering if that second controller is for some reason not being seen with the new kernel?

Can you help me with next steps?

Thanks/
