Title:
  offset option not honored in scripts/local-top/cryptroot

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I recently went to move my lvm2 (/ & swap) to an SSD (sda)

  After creating a normal ext3 /boot and then creating (with cryptsetup)
  an encrypted /dev/sda2, I proceeded to create lvm2 with volume group
  'vtx' volume names 'slash' and 'swap'.

  I then dd'ed my old / to the new slash and the old swap to the new
  swap.  No issues.

  After rebooting, when jaunty asks for the password for the encrypted
  partition, it does not accept it.

  I created the crypted partition with an offset of 2048 (1MB) to be
  inside a multiple of the block erase size of my SSD.

  Upon taking the initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic apart that I created,
  there is nothing in the scripts/local-top/cryptroot to accept the
  offset parameter that I created the crypted partition with!

  This makes the system unbootable.
