[Bug 990460] [NEW] Can't boot after upgrade from lucid to precise, cause cryptroot in initrd.img is missing

[Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni]

Public bug reported:

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
