This is a serious bug that has hosed my system.

Upgraded Ibex to Jaunty (Kubuntu) using the upgrade tool. I have precisely one encrypted container - no multiple type situation here. Unencrypted /boot, and encrypted sdaX_crypt. That is all.

Now, I do not get a password prompt to enter my luks password to unlock the encrypted LVM.

It drops me on to a BusyBox shell with an (initramfs) prompt. Error
message :

Check cryptopts=source= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
-r ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<blah-blah> does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!

What is going on ? Is the latest kernel bereft of the needed crypto
modules ? How do I fix this ?
