I managed to get the debian startes with a trick. First I changes the entry in /etc/fstab from example /dev/mapper/usr to UUID=rz98u98127290502957whatever Then, at boot it is not possible to enter the complete password, as the system is going on to boot soon after the first letters were entered. This behaves so at every partition. At last, I can get into the rescue console with CTRL-D. Now I can manually open the partitions (cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7) and mount them correctly. After this I exit the rescue console with CTRL-D again (to proceed with the boot process) and it is starting correctly. the strange thing is, when I set /dev/mapper/usr into /etc/fstab, it will not boot and hangs at the point "scripts/local-blocks/", trying about 10 times, then stops with initramfs error. Maybe the initramfs-tool might be defective, but I do not know. This system is now running for several years in this constellation, so I can not imagine, what has changed. I am running debian/testin, with kernel 4.1, but the same problem appears with 3.16. Maybe the actual initramfs-tool is buggy, but dunno. Thanks for any help. I ama still not giving up, hope new information will help me on. Best regards Hans regards
