I created a crypttab as some point, but it didn’t solve the problem. |
| 20 |
$ cat /etc/crypttab |
| 21 |
home /dev/sda5 |

This link gave me the deciding hint -- I didn't have cryptsetup-generator in |
| 26 |
my system, because I didn’t have the cryptsetup useflags enabled. |
| 27 |
I rebuilt systemd and udisks and now I’m prompted for the LUKS password during |
| 28 |
boot. \o/ |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Now I need to find out whether it’s feasible for me to use it. I’ll definitely |
| 31 |
have to procure some custom unit files, e.g. for monitorix. |

The “normal” menuitem and the one under the advanced submenu are identical. |

Now that you mention it -- I forgot to amend the / partition entry to point to |
| 48 |
sda7. I have root=/dev/sda7 in the kernel cmdline, though, so I didn’t notice. |
