I did a clean 9.10 beta installation on one of my laptops via the alternate install cd and installed a fully encrypted system (root included). I used normal partitions and not LVM (I thought it would be a little more straight-forward and I really have no need for LVM on the laptop).
Everything worked perfectly and I did numerous reboots successfully. Before I started copying all of my data over and installing all of my apps, I decided to apt upgrade first and now it will no longer boot. It appears it can't find my encrypted root partition for some reason? It drops me to a shell (initramfs) after giving an error (ALERT! /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt does not exist.).
I've been searching the net and everything I can think of on the forum and all the other ubuntu sites, but I haven't been able to figure out how to resolve this. I'm guessing it's probably something fairly simple, but I've just started using encrypted filesystems and I really don't have any idea.
Thank you very much for any help at all!!
