Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.3-3 (Last report for today, I promise!)
This issue is related to the keymap troubles. If you luksAddKey in an UTF-8 environment entering "ä" in the passphrase will result in the two bytes 0xc3 and 0xa4. When you later reenter this "ä" during the initram/initrd phase, the console is not (yet) in Unicode mode, so it only results in the single byte 0xe4 ... the passphrases will not match. I am unsure how to solve this. Canonising all passphrases before hashing is a nice option, but this may involve largish tables unsuitable for an initrd. Maybe the console should be switched to Unicode mode akin to loading the right keymap? TIA, -- Robbe
