1 I have an encrypted block device, `/dev/sda2', which is
2 mounted as my root filesystem. I recently installed this
3 system -- I've been away from Gentoo for awhile -- and used
4 gentoo sources 2.6.31-r6. When the kernel upgrade rolled
5 around, to 2.6.32-r7, I installed and rebooted and then my
6 passphrase didn't work anymore. The error message:
7
8 Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.

10 However, rebooting with my old kernel works fine so I'm not
11 sure what the problem is. Could it be a different version of
12 `cryptsetup'? When the device can't be opened on boot, I have
13 the option to drop to a shell. I try to run `cryptsetup' and I
14 get the same error -- so maybe that's my problem? Would
15 different versions of `cryptsetup' be incompatible with
16 devices encrypted by older versions? That seems brittle and
17 dangerous to me.
