Hi List
since i have updated my kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 to 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 my 
encrypted LVM is no longer completely decrypted.
In detail:
if i boot with kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 everything works fine and the 
encrypted LVM will be decrypted at boottime via a passwordfile that is 
located on the rootfilesystem hde2. ( yes i know that´s not really secure)
The LVM comprised sda sdb and hde3 
but
if i boot with kernel 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 then only the sda and sdb are 
decrypted and hde3 will not be recognized nor decrypted , what is a litte bit 
strange because the harddisk is detected by the system as root hde2.

What has changed in the kernel ?

regards
	Markus
