First off, I really appreciate the documentation. Thanks very much for that.
Now, my problem: I attempted your procedure with Ubuntu Edgy, and it seems as if it's very close to working, but I've noticed a problem when the cryptroot script attempts to read the password upon boot.
For some reason, the script generates an error like "Error opening device, no such file or directory" and never actually waits for a password to be entered when booting. The problem seems to be somehow related to the block of code in that file that reads input from the console and pipes it to the cryptsetup command.
I'm guessing it can't read from the console period - but I have no idea why. It continually just fails, spewing out errors, and sits in a while loop forever without ever actually registering the input.
Trying to make this work with Ubuntu Edgy...
