 Is this known to work or not work ?

 I just tried a clean install of f11 with encrypted swap, and /home.

 Install went ok - cmputer rebooted and got error - failed to locate the
/dev/mapper/luks-UUID for the encrypted /home.

 The luks stuff is there and fine - verified by running luksDump
 and also by cryptsetup luksOpen by hand. After which I can mount
/dev/mapper/xxx no problem.

 The Boot fails however as clearly the luksOpen failed or was not called
correctly and so /dev/mapper/xxx is missing. The swap /dev/mapper/yyy is
created so that went fine.

 /etc/cryptab and fstab all look fine - and dmesg has no info.

 Anyone know if I can make this work somehow ? Certainly exncryption
with ext3 under f10 worked no problem).

 Appreciate some help ?

thanks.
