Does that mean that its too late to get a bug marked as a blocker? I've
just upgraded from F11 using preupgrade and run into
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530896 which appears to have
the impact that anyone not using the graphical boot option can't enter a
password for an encrypted partition (eg /home), and then gets stuck in
an endless loop being prompted for the password with no way out.
The fix is to boot off a rescue image (and liveusb-creator being broken
for x86_64 didn't help -
https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/626), upgrade to the
packages from koji and then rebuild the initrd.
The fix in koji solves this for me, but I suspect that its going to hit
a lot of people...
All the people in the bug are complaining about this happening with
/home - does someone with / encrypted want to turn off graphical boot
and see if it affects that too?
