I poked around a little more and it looks as if things are close to working. The boot process looks like it has hung but if I wait long enough it drops into a shell then I can:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 mm177490-pc vgchange -a y mm177490-pc and then "exit" which continues the boot process until I get: Starting early crypto disks...sdb2_crypt (starting) Enter pass phrase to unlock the disk /dev/sdb2(sdb2_crypt): Command failed: cannot access device If I enter the passphrase enough times (same error over and over) then eventually the boot process will succeed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
